“Maria said that there is a document that she knows about, even, in my opinion, she saw where it was ordered to release her by transferring the 25 deportation to the migration services of October at eight o’clock,” he explained.
Butin also said that Maria is interested in what is happening in Russia and he talks about it with her during telephone conversations.
“The last time we talked on Sunday. She wants to know what is happening in our country - I tell her. She does not know what is happening in the world. In general, she physically goes in for sports, feels acceptable. Psychologically, you won’t break it anymore: she reads, communicates, she has many visitors within the limits of what she has been allocated for communication, ”he added.
