Tumlin will talk about this, but last week we did have a press event with supervisors peskin and preston announcing that we will be delaying our fare increases. Obviously when we were voting upon that fare increase, we could not have understood the magnitude of what was before us and not to mention we didnt really have a path forward in being able to fund the operations, so i want to thank you supervisors peskin and preston for working with us to come up with solutions which i cannot tell you what they are today.

And with that, i will turn it on to the next item. All right

Congratulated all russians on this memorable date. This is a conscious, longawaited, hardwon and truly popular decision that people made together, during referendums, in full compliance with international standards, and showed courage and unwavering character. Their they tried to intimidate, to take away the right to determine their own future, their destiny, to take away that. What is dear to every person, culture, traditions, native language, everything that was hated by the nationalists and their western patrons, who staged a coup in kiev in 2014, and then unleashed a fullscale civil war, terror against dissidents, organized a blockade, constant shelling and punitive actions in the donbass, but that no one can break the will of millions of people, their faith in the truth and historical justice, the free and unambiguous choice of our brothers and sisters, the people of russia supported with all their hearts, understood and deeply felt the main thing, defending our compatriots in the
