I call this meeting to order. We have a very unstable connection with Kyiv. The ambassador has literally moved heaven and earth in order to be with us today. We may lose her at any moment, so I'm going to start the meeting right now and ask for her opening statement. It's only in the last five or 10 minutes that we actually knew we were going to have the ambassador with us.
Ambassador, thank you for all your efforts to be with us. I know you're in a very difficult situation, so I'll just ask you for your opening five-minute statement, and then members will move to questions.
Colleagues, at one point we were going to collapse the whole meeting into one. Now we're back to what was in the published notice.
