Thank you very much, dear Volodymyr and dear Mark for convening us here today.

And if you look at all the horrors unleashed by Russia's war,

none cuts deeper than the abduction of children.

And Olena, as you've said, tens of thousands of boys and girls are trapped in Russia. They are not statistics.

Each and every one is a child.

And behind each and every abduction is a family in torment.

Diana, you also said, and I thank you for that, there are moments of hope.

You described the story of Ilya, and there are other stories, so we can do something,

and I want to take my time to focus on where we can support.

We will not rest until Ukraine's children are home, but I know that the needs at home are also enormous. So, Volodymyr and Olena.

That's why I'm delighted to announce today that we are ready

to make available some €200 million for the provision of school meals.

You told me how important that is, and I'm happy to support here.

Now let me briefly focus on the abducted children trapped in a foreign land.

We want to support here and that's why we are funding your prosecutor's office so that families can see that justice is done.

That's why with UNICEF we are investing more than €10 million so that when the children return, and some of you said it,

they are not only welcomed but helped to heal, to learn, and of course to dream again of a future.

And that's why we have sanctioned more than 50 individuals complicit in these crimes, and more will follow.

But this fight is not Ukraine's alone.

It requires the world's resolve to maximize pressure on Russia.

And this is why the European Union is joining the International Coalition for the for the return of Ukrainian children,

and we are very delighted and honored to host the high-level international

summit to put these children at the top of the global agenda.

Thank you very much, Slava Ukraine.
