Intervenant 1
Can we ask also colleagues to take their seats as we are a bit behind the schedule?  So I apologize to all those who were timely and in time here.  Dear ministers, Andre, dear Anita, dear minister Anand, so commissioner Koss, dear Martha, excellencies, thank you for being here.  No matter whether you are a few kilometers or 10,000 kilometers away from Ukraine, the pain inflicted on Ukrainian children leaves no one untouched.  And I really welcome that we have here this meeting of the International Coalition of the Return of Ukrainian Children, which I'm proud to co-chair with commissioner for enlargement, Marta Kos, and also together with the minister of foreign affairs of Canada, Anita Nand, and minister of foreign affairs of Ukraine, Andrei Sibiha. 

Addressing one of the most serious crimes that Russia has committed since the beginning of the war of aggression against Ukraine remains as important as ever, and your presence today sends a strong signal of our determination to support Ukraine, making sure every child is returned.  So I ask all of you to watch a video addressed by President Bondurant Lyon.  Please, can we show the video?
