Dear Heather,

Following our previous communications and my analysis of the documents
provided, and following my pre-discussion internally and with Devon, I
would like to share with you some of my additional thoughts and concerns,
before we proceed with our engagements and next steps.

First of all, the memo drafted for us by the ML Strategies describes the
scope of their activities within the initial engagement month. Among the
results of their work, they mention a number of meetings conducted with the
members of Congress and some other US officials. The issue that I would
like to raise here is a need to create certain indicators or so-called
yardsticks upon which the results of their work on our part could be
measured.

From what I understood from their memo, participating in such meetings
itself should be regarded as our target. With this in mind, it raises a
following question: first and foremost, what is the actual result/benefit
for the Burisma company? What criteria were used for choosing these very
Congressmen and Senators and not the others. And again what are the
implications/results for Burisma today and tomorrow? These issues I believe
have to be addressed before we move to our next engagement period.

Talking about our future engagements, once again following my thoughts
outlined above clear-cur targets and indicators should be placed. against
which we'll be measuring the efficiency of work done for us by the ML
Strategies.

Moreover, a list of vis-a-vis for the meetings, the number of people
participating in them and criteria based on which they are chosen need to
be clear, and ultimately the specifics of tasks to be achieved as a result
of these meetings in order to determine their effectiveness.

In terms of the financial part of our engagement, in the last email as one
of the options you suggested the amount totaling $20 ths per month for the
ML Strategies services. Please, provide us with the rationale behind this.

Concerning the further engagement with the FTI, in order to properly
analyze what has been done I would like to concentrate on the real results
and effectiveness. My current understanding is that a lot of background
work has been conducted and a number of documents were drafted, but I would
like to get a report highlighting the actual results that must have been
achieved.

As to the future engagement, a suggested communications plan contains what
I would call a framework for tasks, but not an actual concrete plan of
communicating those messages within a specific time-frame needed to convey
them. The way I understand our future communications plan for now, is that
the content of any further communications (interviews/ op-eds/press
releases/corporate statements), the list of instruments to do so is are yet
to be defined and, so are the targets and indicators to measure the
effectiveness, incl. timing.

From the financial point of view, I would also like to discuss the amount
of payments within a concrete time-frame since following the suggested
communications plan a lot of things require extra financing.

Bearing in mind all of the above, I would like to say in clear terms that
we're ready and looking forward to working together.  My concerns raised
above are only based on my desire to define all the aspects of our
relations.

And off the record, I fully realize that the major point that needs to be
reconciled between our sides is the difference in perception and
expectations which comes from our fairly different outlooks and backgrounds.

However, I truly hope that with the help of your experience working with
various counterparts from our part of the world we'll manage to develop a
strong and ongoing formula for our relations.

Best,

 Vadym
