Lila, thanks for your involvement.
Your message is short and sounds better than other recent. I find it improves trust for you all.
Really, we want help and we can help, especially locals, i.e. Russian folks.
But we need a specific, short and factual information about the changing legal landscape in Russia, if any happened. Without that we are as blind man's in the mist. Let us know the information. Or let Rubin (who is knocking and knocking), if that information is classified, however I can't figure any reason to act as people of every secret service.
