Mr. Putin Takes A Question

I am always conscious of my inclination to discuss politics.  But what else is there?  Could we pause for some humour?  Let us try.
__________________________________________________________________

Vladimir Putin, wanting to get on the good side of voters, goes to visit a university in Moscow to have a chat with the students.  He talks to them about how powerful a nation Russia is, and how he wants the best for all the people.
 
At the end of the talk there is a section for questions.  Sasha puts her hand up and says:
"I have two questions;  Why did the Russians take Crimea?  And why are we sending troops to the Ukraine?” 
 
Putin says: "Good questions”. 
But just as he is about to answer, the bell goes, and the students go to lunch.
 
When they come back, they sit back down and there is room for some more questions, another girl, Misha, puts her hand up and says: 
"I have four questions”
"My Questions are - 
Why did the Russians invade Crimea? 
Why are we sending troops to the Ukraine? 
Why did the lunch bell go 20 minutes early? 
And ... Where is Sasha?"
