Thank you.
Now we can proceed with our study of Ukraine.
It's a great pleasure, once again, to have you before committee, Ambassador Kovaliv. Thank you very much for being with us. You have indicated that you can remain with this committee until 6 p.m. and we want to take advantage of that.
For your opening comments, you have five minutes before we go to the members for questions.
The floor is yours, Madam Ambassador.
