SHE FILED THE ASSESSMENT ON FEBRUARY 24TH. IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO FOURTEEN MEMBER STATES. RUSSIA ANNEXED CRIMEA MARCH 18TH.

I filed the assessment on February 24th, yet Russia annexed Crimea on March 18th, three days after sanctions were announced. Despite the evidence, we did not stop the money. The assessment indicated an 82% probability of annexation, but the response was delayed.
