It is noted that Margret Vestager, the European Commissioner for Competition, voted for adding Fedorov to the list. p>”Earlier, he helped people see what modern Ukraine looks like. And now he is at the center of efforts to counter Russian propaganda in real time. Russia is ready to use all available technologies for disinformation. And so Ukraine ā under the leadership of Fedorov ā has made a concerted effort to combat this through social media and informing its fellow citizens.
I like the resourcefulness and focus I see in Fedorov and in many Ukrainian politicians. The country's aspiration to become a member of the European Union will benefit not only Ukraine, but also all of us,” she said.
The authors of the rating note that Kubrakov became the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine nine months before the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia. , now he is engaged in the supply of Ukrainian products within of the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
“Allies are helping Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression, Ukraine is helping peace to fight hunger,” the minister said.
Marina Vyazovska, who is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, became the second woman in history to receive the Fields Medal – the highest award for mathematicians. She proved that the Eā lattice is the densest way of packing identical spheres in eight dimensions, and also contributed solutions to related problems and interpolation problems in Fourier analysis.
“Vyazumska's proofs are closely related to linked to the error-correcting codes used in cell phones, spacecraft, and the Internet, and may one day establish clearer connections in many forms of communication,” TIME noted.
