During one month, I sent several letters with different goals to different institutions beginning from the EU, United States, White House and Congress and also Putin. I had different goals.

And I've got the result and I will not share with you details of this result, but I did it. I had a goal, sending a letter to Putin … and I think I've got the result what I needed.
