Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Ambassador, for appearing in front of us today and for giving us an update on the situation in your country.
I'd like to congratulate you and your government for concluding an agreement with the Government of Canada: the Canada-Ukraine strategic security partnership. Conservatives support that agreement, and we believe it will strengthen co-operation between our two countries in the area of security and defence. Congratulations on that accomplishment.
Ambassador, you mentioned in your opening remarks that Russia is firing six to seven times the number of shells at Ukraine compared to Ukraine's ability to fire back. An ongoing theme in recent months is a lack of ammunition. What's your view on the 83,000 surplus CRV7 rockets held by the Canadian Armed Forces? Do you believe that Ukraine's military could use those rockets? How urgent is that need?
