Madam Chair, I am very pleased to be able to answer this question because we fully acknowledge that Russian propaganda continues to try to deny the aggression in Crimea and the threats to Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Vladimir Putin is very familiar with our position on Ukraine very well because I have shared it with him many times over the years. A few weeks ago, the Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke directly with her Russian counterpart to reiterate our position and our unwavering support for Ukraine.
We are absolutely seeking a diplomatic solution, but we are also demonstrating that there will be serious consequences for Russia if it attacks Ukraine's territorial integrity and the people of Ukraine again.
