The European Society of Cardiology paused the memberships of the Russian Society of Cardiology and the Belarussian Society of Cardiologists amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine
"Please let us emphasize that this extraordinary measure is not at all directed against cardiologists, scientists, and other ESC members from the Russian Federation or Belarus. They are not to blame for the war. They are our friends and colleagues in the fight against cardiovascular disease." Stephan Achenbach, President of the ESC, said in the statement.
Achenbach said in the statement that the organization "had no choice but to use widespread isolation" to discourage further aggression by the Russian Federation and Belarusian political leaders.
