Russian resigns in protest at Ukraine war - Lilith7 - 24-05-2022
A Russian with the guts to speak against Putin & his war on Ukraine. I hope all his family is safely out of Putin's reach. He's apparently not the first to resign but is the highest level diplomat to do so & the only one to make it public.
I hope some country offers such a brave man asylum - just NOT Australia, since the world knows how they treat asylum seekers. Perhaps we could do it.

"A veteran Russian diplomat in Geneva has resigned over his countryÔÇÖs invasion of┬áUkraine┬áin a rare political protest from within the Russian foreign policy establishment.
Boris Bondarev, a counsellor at the Russian permanent mission to the United Nations in Geneva, wrote in a public statement: ÔÇ£Never have I been so ashamed of my country.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£Today the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy,ÔÇØ wrote the diplomat, a 20-year veteran of the Russian foreign ministry. ÔÇ£It is all about warmongering, lies and hatred. It serves interests of few, the very few people thus contributing to further isolation and degradation of my country."

I think there will be a few more, but most will be concerned with safety for themselves and family. Maybe he has no real ties left to Russia and the UN promised to hide/relocate him, who knows

Yeah, I hope so because Putin's well known to have revenge on those who displease him. He's a nasty bit of work that one.

I agree, I fear for these peoples safety.
Good to see so more russians making a stand.
I dont think Putin has much time left either mind you. It looks like he has already survived multiple assassination attempts already. I wonder if thats the reason he was in hospital and they had a cover story they put out.
