Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
Yes. In fairness, part of the problem in respect of the Ukrainian part of this is that these children are not actually travelling from Ukraine. They are coming from elsewhere within the EU.

In that sense, there would be little the Ukrainian authorities could do by way of helping to address the issue.
