I thank the ambassador for coming in here. As much as this is becoming more real for us, it is much closer to Slovakia. Slovakia is physically much closer to Ukraine and there is a particular relationship there. I appreciate just how real it is.

In his opening statement, the ambassador spoke about the expulsion of three diplomats and workers from the Russian embassy for their activities. I do not know how much detail the ambassador could go into, but could he give us some information in relation to that? We have our own relationship with the Russian Embassy here. A number of us would like to see considerable movement, if the ambassador knows what I mean, in respect of diplomats and possibly others.
