Mr. Biersteker, I'd like to continue where Mr. Levitt finished off.
It was referenced earlier that at one point UN sanctions appeared to be quite effective. Unfortunately, they're being blocked by Russia currently. We also see that Russia is using other methods of blocking sanctions and new sanction regimes within the European Union. In many ways, there's been a corrupting of political elites. A former German chancellor is an employee of Gazprom these days. So holding out hope for multilateral sanctions with our European allies might not be realistic. We do care about human rights, and we do care about human rights violations. Perhaps we should be looking to our American allies, our Australian allies, to find a multilateral way that is perhaps a narrower multilateralism than what we've been used to in the past. I would like your thoughts on that particular point.
