Mhm Welcome. Pleasure to have you. I.

Your So sir, this is your liaison office. Welcome. Enjoy the meeting there. I.

Moldova,

what's concrete role in this process we're talking about the International Coalition for the Return of the Children and what further steps will be doing in this process.

First and foremost, it's good to be back in Brussels at the invitation of, Kaja Kallas and Marta Kos, especially the two days ago we had the honour of welcoming Kayak Kaas in Chisinau, and, today, of course,

is an important moment to Discuss and contribute and assess the contributions of countries when it comes to the issue of children abducted by the Russian Federation and the plight of children as a result of the Russian aggression against Ukraine in general.

The Republic of Moldova is the country that has welcomed the largest number of refugees per capita.

We are still welcoming about 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children.

About 20,000 have been granted temporary protection measures.

The Republic of Moldova has provided full access to education, labour market, healthcare access,

and we look forward to be able to contribute even more in light of the fact that Moldova is a founding member of the International Tribunal for the Crimes of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

And we look forward to this opportunity and other encounters, including our presidency and the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe,

to use all available means and mechanisms to make sure that we eliminate impunity for the crime of aggression but also for the heinous crimes affecting children of Ukraine.
