Thank you very much, Chair.
I would like to thank each of our witnesses, not only for being willing to share their stories today but also for their resilience and for bravery in coming forward to expose the realities of the war in Ukraine. I want to thank you so much for that.
I am a mother as well. It is difficult for me to even imagine the suffering of being forcibly separated from your children. Just from listening here, I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Save Ukraine and Save the Children are doing to help reunite families.
I also just want to say that I'm so sorry. I am so sorry for the hardships and the evil that you each have had to endure throughout this whole process.
Again, thank you for sharing your vulnerability and the reality you each have experienced in these situations.
I would like to focus on the parents, if that's okay for right now.
I would like to ask this of Tetiana, if possible.
How did you find out that your son was taken to Russia?
