Mattarella “Cern builds peace through science”

GENEVA (SWITZERLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “With great affliction we have witnessed the choice of the Russian Federation to bring, with the aggression against Ukraine’s independence, war back into the heart of Europe, with severe consequences on the ground of scientific cooperation.
