Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Al Saleh, for your testimony today.
I think the whole world watched as the White Helmets pulled out a little boy name Omran from the rubble in Syria and placed him into an ambulance. This little boy was very dusty and covered in blood, and I think it really had an effect on the whole world, showing them what air strikes really mean for the people of Syria, and Aleppo specifically.
Thank you for all of your hard work.
I'm going to start with Mr. Beaulieu, if that's okay.
Sir, Russia has claimed multiple times that the main cause of action for their air campaign in Syria is to defy ISIS or Daesh. How realistic is this claim?
