Thank you.
I want to welcome both of you. I was in Ukraine last week. It was great to be at an event that was multi-party and had multi-department organs of the government there. It was a multi-leader event and prayer breakfast. As I've told you before, the atmosphere was tense, but really, I think it was a good atmosphere.
One of the things that was probably most poignant was that one of the young guys who was working with us called himself a refugee in his own country. He's from eastern Ukraine. I thought it was an interesting way to see that. He couldn't go home, and he has family on both sides of the line. He talked to us a bit about that.
I want to talk a bit about the increased tensions in the eastern area there. In the last couple of days, I think, Putin has said that there would be “drastic consequences for Ukraine's statehood” if it tries to liberate Donbass. Is that just more talk, or is there heightened aggression there since the election?
