Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to all you folks for your testimony. It certainly adds to the complexity of the issue when we hear the three differing sides.
I think we all agree that Russia's aggression towards Ukraine is more than just the fact that it sees Ukraine as being within its Russian sphere of influence.
Dr. Kuzio, you mentioned Ukraine's interest in EU and NATO, and you had three interesting terms that I jotted down: geopolitical tug-of-war, empire building, and national unity. Those are all things that I think of as well that might have led to the aggression—mostly the first one, the EU and the NATO.
You commented that in Moscow, they feel that the Ukrainian people would love to be back in the—for lack of a better term—arms of Mother Russia. Certainly, we know that's not the case, but I'm interested in Russia's absolute great ability at information warfare and how that may or may not be impacting the feeling of the people in Ukraine, especially along the borders.
Do you feel this is having some impact? I'd just like to know your thoughts on that.
Doctor, I'm going to turn my spare time after your answer over to my colleague Mr. Wrzesnewskyj. I have more things I'd like to ask, but I'd love to hear from Mr. Wrzesnewskyj as well.
