that yesterday i was at the opening at the of the ukraine house here in dallas, which is where the delegation kind of gets together, holds events and their 1st event there was about fundraising. so i think they really want more support, more financial support for ukraine, and there may be some concern as well that ukraine, yes, it's one of the focuses here, but it may be slipping down the agenda after all this forum here is facing a huge amount, a huge array of concerns including the risk of recession this here, rising inflation, a food crisis, a cost of living crisis. so i think that worry may be somewhat justified and you could see that today as well in the address of or zillah on their line. the commission president, she talked about ukraine, that was her starting off point, but then she delved into really the green economy and the importance of investing in the you for that. one of the leaders attending the forum in switzerland is it's
