[b]Crisis in Ukraine[/b] As we go through these dark hours following the start of the full-scale military confrontation unfolding in Ukraine, ESA has been closely monitoring the situation while maintaining regular contact with its Member States, industry and international partners in order to assess the possible consequences for ESA's ongoing activities and above all for the workforce involved in its critical operations. One of the strengths that space cooperation has demonstrated in the past is the resilience of the partners to overcome geopolitical crises and maintain, as is the case on board the International Space Station, a place of joint research for peaceful purposes for the benefit of all. ESA is committed to continuing the work of all its programme activities, including the ongoing ExoMars launch campaign, to ensure their successful implementation, wherever possible.
[i]Notwithstanding the current conflict, civil space cooperation remains a bridge. ESA continues to work on all of its programmes, including on ISS and ExoMars launch campaign, in order to honour commitments with Member States and partners. We continue to monitor the evolving situation. I am sad and worried as the aggression continues to worsen in Ukraine. With ESA Member States, we will take any decisions needed. But for now, support for our missions and colleagues continues until further notice.[/i]
