I saw things that I was surprised at. So. And I don't like being surprised. So I'm very disappointed in that way. With that being said, I'd like to see it end. 5,000 people, I think the number is even more than that. But 5,000 people a week are being killed mostly, but also people that live in little cities and towns throughout Ukraine. And I'd like to see that stop. And I asked Caroline this yesterday, but I want to ask you directly, so many of the things that you're trying to do are held up in court right now. (43:54–44:07)
