Thank you very much. It's a great question.
Yes, I very strongly agree that we have to be active now and continuously between now and the May 25 election. One thing that's going to be very important to do is to support independent media and observers who can monitor the potential disruption of this election by Russia and its agents, and to publicize that and do everything possible to prevent it from happening.
The second thing that is going to be critical is to help mobilize and educate voters. There are Ukrainian civil society organizations that are doing that, and we are prepared.... We are going to have a board meeting on Friday of this week, and we're going to approve many grants that are devoted to that purpose...for all of these things in strengthening civil society. Our party institutes will be helping the parties prepare for the election.
It will be also necessary to have domestic observers, not just international observers, so that this becomes a national effort by Ukraine and the international community to have a successful election that will lay the foundation for and be the first major step towards Ukraine becoming a successful democracy that could become part of the democratic west.
