Russia condemns Cern decision to halt science collaboration

The Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, expressed strong objections on Wednesday to the European Organization for Nuclear Research’s decision to terminate its cooperation with Russian scientists, deeming it politicized and unacceptable, as reported by Reuters.

Known as Cern, the organization announced in December that it would discontinue collaboration with Russia starting November 2024.

Zakharova stated, “We regard these actions as politicized and completely unacceptable. The western world is increasing its pressure on our country in the realm of fundamental science.”

Furthermore, Zakharova criticized Cern’s decision, claiming it unfairly targets Russian scientists and is discriminatory in nature.
