“I ask my colleagues [to be] short. Yes, I’m sorry, but we am going to sit. Second. I would like to ask you to focus on what has not been done. Third. With regard to extra money from excise taxes, which we had originally planned to invest. You can, of course, and through Federal Fund, but we agreed that the money from the regions will go directly. And so, using Federal Fund, you will collect and who will control how and where you send them? So I don’t think it’s a good idea,” said the President.
Putin then drew attention to the inconsistency of the available statistics on passenger transport the figures that led Dietrich: “Evgeny, you said there are a million transported passengers on a “flat” rates. I have other data in 2017 transported on flat rates of 530 thousand people. Forecast to 2018 — 900 thousand.”News

“Just a second, I will compare. I am sure that you have the most accurate data,” responded the Minister. “What, — said Putin. — Maybe here is the error…”.
“To blame. 500 thousand passengers were transported on flat rates, I said wrong. And 900 thousand planned…” admitted Dietrich.
