Ilya Petrenko, Russia Today: Initially, I wanted to ask you about your personal contacts with Donald Trump. You've been asked twice about it already. But, to be more precise, Have you already dropped the formalities and gone to first name terms? Then, answering one of the questions, you mentioned the pressure exercised on RT and Sputnik in the USA. The pressure endures. Russia takes retaliatory steps. Where is the limit of our country's retaliatory actions? And, what's more, how does it affect the freedom of speech in our country? And, very briefly, another subject. A farmer, having many children, faced a trial today in the Kurgan Region. He was charged with illegal trafficking of special devices for attaching a GPS tracker to his cow. The case was returned to the prosecutor's office. His name is Evgeny, he's watching this conference now. Despite the fact that the case hasn't been closed yet, to my knowledge, more than 200 people were convicted under this article last year. What do you think about it? Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: I can't get what he was charged with. Using GPS?
Ilya Petrenko, Russia Today: He ordered the device from China and attached it to the cow because it always got lost.
Vladimir Putin: Is it prohibited? Should we pay for it?
Ilya Petrenko, Russia Today: There's an article of the Criminal Code under which a person can be indicted.
Vladimir Putin: Is it? I will revisit it. And I'll look into the stories of the individuals you've mentioned. It's the first time that I've heard that you can't attach it to a cow. I know that people even attach GPS or GLONASS to a cat so that it doesn't get lost. So what's the problem with the car? Maybe, he should pay for it but did it illegally. Perhaps, it should be regulated somehow, I'll try to do it.
As for the first part of the question, we are on the first name terms. So, I guess we did drop the formalities. Even if our meetings were rare and short, we had 2 meetings and 2 phone calls. On the whole, I think that working contacts should be established between those who are entrusted with the power by the voters. I hope he'll have a possibility to improve the ties with Russia in general and he'll stick to his election promises and intentions.
