I'd like to thank Global Affairs for being here with us and making their time available.
I'd like to start off with the war in Ukraine. We know that Vladimir Putin, who's the aggressor and perpetrator of this war, started it for many different reasons. We see that he is insistent on continuing this conflict. Also, many have speculated that there are imperial sorts of ideas. He has a large ego, etc.
With respect to allowing this conflict to wind down and for him to save face, are we as a country working with our partners and allies to create an off-ramp for Vladimir Putin that allows him to save face and brings an end to the conflict?
