I'd like to welcome our guests who are continuing a discussion on the crisis in Ukraine. This conversation is obviously very important to this committee and to Canadians, so we're grateful for your presence and the opportunity to continue this discussion.
Today we have Ihor Kozak; Christian Leuprecht, professor in the department of political science at the Royal Military College of Canada; and Matt Schroeder, senior researcher for the Small Arms Survey, via video conference from Washington, D.C. I've been advised that Mr. Kozak will present first.
I'd like to remind you to do your very best to stay within your 10 minutes. The committee is very interested in asking questions, and staying on the timeline makes my job as chair a little easier.
Mr. Kozak, you have the floor.
