Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome and our thanks to all of you for presenting yourselves here today.
I note, Ty, you said that you didn't want to speculate on what the Russian motivation is, but I think we could speculate a little bit that they were both testing our capabilities and testing our resolve. Given the reaction, in particular by President Trump, President Zelenskyy, the EU leadership and what we've heard from Prime Minister Tusk and others most recently in response to this, I would like an assessment from all of you on what impacts this probing by Russia has had on NATO resolve. We talked about investment, so it's a matter of declaration or resolve but it's also what that can mean for the next steps.
