Thanks, Paula. It's Chris Powers, Kyiv Independent. I think I have a question for Siobhán about sanctions and yesterday's meetings. So I saw a LinkedIn post from Commissioner Albuquerque, where she mentions a couple of cool things. One is the EU crypto sanctions task force.
The other is a dedicated EU sanctions office. I'm wondering what you can tell us about it. It sounds super cool. I hope it is. Thanks.

And of course, one of the things that we continue to do is to exert maximum pressure on Russia to end the their illegal war in Ukraine. And that's something that obviously we have been consistent in doing across four years of war and 21 sanctions packages. And as most of you probably know, we are working on our 22nd sanctions package right now.
