I thank all of our witnesses. I particularly acknowledge Mr. Yurchyshyn who is joining us from Kyiv. Even the fact the electricity is going off there shows us the ongoing challenges faced by politicians and journalists. I want him to be assured of Ireland's ongoing solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the face of the most appalling aggression by Russia and particularly given the events of this week. It is important that we continue to speak out loudly and show this solidarity. I know Mr. Yurchyshyn can hear us but I do not know whether I can ask him a question.
