'Ashamed' of war, Russian diplomat resigns

[Guno צְבִי]

Veteran Russian diplomat to the U.N. Office at Geneva resigned his post Monday, saying he is "ashamed" of his country's invasion of Ukraine.

Boris Bondarev, 41, confirmed his resignation in a letter delivered Monday morning at the Russian diplomatic mission blasting the “aggressive war unleashed” by President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.

“For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on Feb. 24 of this year,” he wrote.

"Although some public opinion polls in Russia suggest support for the Ukraine war is strong, the results are likely skewed by respondents who stay silent, wary of expressing their genuine views."

I wonder if it is safe for him to return to Russia.
