It's important for Canada to take part in these missions. This is a priority since it's NATO countries that benefit from this support. For Canada, it's important to support Ukraine on both fronts, of course, especially since we have a large Ukrainian community in Canada. Other NATO partners, including the United States, have announced additional troops in eastern Europe, but care is being taken not to put additional U.S. troops in Ukraine to avoid upsetting Russia and increasing the pressure. It must be said that Russia is addressing the United States in this crisis. It's not Ukraine or NATO in general, but the United States that is being targeted by Russia. I think the United States is doing very well to avoid putting U.S. soldiers there. However, if there were U.S. soldiers in Ukraine, it would increase pressure on Russia considerably, more than Canada could do.
