Chemists in Ukraine revisited: Grygoriy Dmytriv

Grygoriy Dmytriv

Planning for the European Crystallographic Meeting in Lviv in 2025 is in full swing

Despite the war, chemists in Lviv keep working. We took a breather, thanked our armed forces and are now back to work. At least there are not as many attacks as on other cities. There is discomfort, but it’s bearable compared to what others are going through.

The end of the spring semester and the beginning of the autumn one were very different. Lots of students came back from abroad, and since September everything has stabilised. Nearly all of the internally displaced people from Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Odesa have gone back. The ones who are staying are the ones displaced from the temporarily occupied territories: Berdyansk University, Mariupol University. But in Lviv we only have a few such people.
