Thank you, Chair.
Senator Andreychuk, thank you for joining us today. You've been a tireless advocate for human rights and the Ukrainian people for many years now.
Given your important work on behalf of the Ukrainian people, and your experience most notably as Canada's permanent representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, can you please discuss the importance of holding the Russian regime and Putin accountable through sanctions and other means, how it's been effective and how do you think it will affect the Russian regime going forward?
