I owe a debt of gratitude to literally hundreds of people who were involved in making this dream come true, but especially my new President Vladimir Putin. He risked the country's reputation and his own when he signed the order to grant me citizenship. I am honored, grateful, and frankly amazed. Thank you to all those who supported my request to the president to be granted citizenship. So help me God, I won't let you down! My thanks and prayers go out to all of our military servicemen who have given and continue to give their lives to save our people from Kiev-occupied territory. Their sacrifice in defense of Donbass and Russia as a whole, cannot be underestimated. God bless and keep you all! Last, but certainly not least, I extend my sincere thanks to all those from Russian special services who have worked so hard and so long to ensure my safety during this process. Your patience with clueless civilian like me has been remarkable. God bless you all!
