Mr. Chair, I think it's an excellent question.
I would just highlight that NATO is in the midst of updating it's strategic concept. This is something that the leaders will decide on at the Madrid summit in June.
I think what we're seeing, regardless of how things play out in Ukraine, is going to have a significant impact on the development of that strategic concept. I think this is already generating a lot of discussion in NATO about how we need to examine our defence and deterrence posture, particularly along the eastern flank.
I think there is going to be a call from many of our allies, particularly those who are in that eastern part of the alliance, for NATO to take a serious look at a significant increase in the capabilities that NATO maintains along the borders with Russia and along NATO's eastern flank.
Those discussions are already starting, and I think this will have a significant impact on NATO regardless of the outcome in Ukraine because it has shown Russia's hand in terms of being an unpredictable and irresponsible actor on the international stage that's willing to take extraordinary and irresponsible risks and violate international law, so it is going to have an impact.
