LABOTT: Thanks very much, Kayla. And thank you, everybody, for this very timely panel of journalists who have recently spent time covering the war in Ukraine for not just a discussion of the situation on the ground there and policy considerations for the U.S. and its NATO allies, but also their personal perceptions.
