“…Suboptimal practices have been used as per instructions by healthcare authorities and leading experts' publications; numerous examples have been discussed previously [3,4,38]. To name but a few: extensive use of Halsted and Patey mastectomy with excision of pectoral muscles, electrocoagulation of cervical ectropions without cyto-or histological check for precancerous lesions, overuse of gastric resections for peptic ulcers, thoracic and abdominal surgery for bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus, excessive use of surgery in tuberculosis, overuse of bronchoscopy [39][40][41] e.g. in conscripts with supposed pneumonia: 1478 procedures in 977 patients in one study [42].…”

The conflict in Ukraine and ensuing energetic crisis has hindered environmental policies in Europe and elsewhere. The war itself has severe environmental implications. The conflict between two major agricultural countries has negative impact on the global food supply. As food prices rise, some nations are likely to cope by converting forests and grasslands to fields.International tensions and conflicts are among reasons to boost childbearing in Russia and some other countries. There are inter-ethnic differences in the birthrate within Russia and worldwide.The necessity of birth control has been obfuscated by conflicting national and global interests, the population growth being regarded as a tool helping to the national sovereignty and defense.The pro-natalist policy is counterproductive in view of the global overpopulation. The ecological damage is generally proportional to the population density. The demographic growth contributes to the scarcity of energy and food in many regions. The energy could be supplied by nuclear power plants (NPPs). Well-managed NPPs pose less of a risk than those running on fossil fuels.The nuclear facilities practically do not emit greenhouse gases. Obviously, a lasting peace is needed, since NPPs are potential targets. By analogy with the Chernobyl accident, the war damage and shutdown of the Zaporozhie NPP (the largest NPP in Europe) will enhance demands for fossil fuels. In the past, the overpopulation was counteracted by wars, pestilence and famine.Today, scientifically based humane methods can be used to regulate the population size taking account of ecological and economical conditions in different regions. Large projects could be accomplished to improve the quality of life all over the world: irrigation systems, nuclear and other energy sources instead of fossil fuels. Hydroelectric power plants can be built on large rivers to produce hydrogen as eco-friendly energy carrier. Such projects would create many jobs, being a reasonable alternative to hostilities and excessive military expenditures. Not only durable peace but also mutual trust is required for that. Ukraine should become a testing ground for the international trust and cooperation.

“…In medical research, scientific misconduct is not uncommon. Insufficient theoretical knowledge causes, on the one hand, excessive conservatism and, on the other, easy acceptance of methods and medications not sufficiently corroborated by evidence‐based research . This analysis of Russian medical libraries and the consequences of limited access to the international literature apply also to other former Soviet Republics, in particular, the Ukraine.…”

“…by well-known surgeon Fedor Uglov 67 , seems to be insincere, unconstructive and unrealistic at least for the time being. Uglov applied lung resections and bronchoscopies without sufficient indications, overviewed in 68 . The anti-alcohol campaign was in a sense an invasive procedure performed without sufficient indications, causing loss of life.…”
