[hesitates for a moment] I wish it could be like this, but it's not like this. We have to do our best in this situation that we are in. Do you know, Nadiya, that one and a half years ago CVPR passed a resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine and offering solidarity and support people of Ukraine? You enjoy a lot of sympathy in this community. Can you tell all of us what you expect from us to make things easier for you? I do feel the support of the research community, and I appreciate a lot the work that they are doing. It means a lot to me personally, and I'm sure that it means a lot also for other Ukrainians. Being seen and heard is one of the basic human needs, particularly in the worst situation that we are in right now. To use our conversation as a stage, I think that the best the community can do is to provide support to Ukrainian researchers, particularly for those who are right now staying in Ukraine. For collaborations and projects, this is probably the best approach. Do you have anything else to tell the community? [hesitates for a moment] Sure, it’s not work-related, but what I want to say is that a couple of days ago, I was reading a book. There was a quote in the book that I liked a lot that I'd like to share: “There are no big breakthroughs. Only a series of small breakthroughs.” And I'm saying this to support young researchers, particularly young girls. Just continue there, and you're going to achieve. Right? This is also my word of support to all Ukrainians who are going to read this. Every day brings us closer to victory.
