Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Dzhemilev for being with us again, and Mr. Chyigoz. Ambassador, it's always great seeing you.
I think all of us at this committee, and indeed all parliamentarians, will loudly proclaim that Crimea is Ukraine. We will always recognize the rights of the Tatars and that they deserve to have their homeland back.
It is a pity that 75 years after the forced deportation and genocide of the Tatar people under Stalin and the former Soviet Union, we're at a stage where Putin is repeating history.
I would like to dive more into what type of sanctions we need to defend Crimea, to defend Ukraine and to push more hardship upon the Russian Federation for this invasion and illegal occupation of Crimea.
