In his letter, the adviser to the Russian mission said he had never been ashamed of his country and work like on the 24th of February.
Boris Bondarev, adviser to Russia’s mission to the UN, has resigned due to disagreement over the policy of the Russian Federation’s top leadership. The text of the diplomat’s statement was published on his Facebook and Linkin pages. Bondarev himself later confirmed the authenticity of the letter in a comment to Kommersant.
It was also published on their pages on the social networks of the head of the non-governmental organization UN Watch with an office in Geneva, Hillel Neuer, and the former head of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger.
Neuer, by the way, wrote that he expects other Russian diplomats to follow the example of their colleague and resign as well.
In his appeal, Bondarev said he was “never ashamed of his country and work like on February 24 of this year.”
“Putin’s aggressive war waged in Ukraine, and indeed throughout the Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the worst crime against the people of Russia, which has crossed all of hope for the gradual development of a democratic society in our country with the bold letter Z. Those who thought of this war, they only wanted one thing-to stay in power forever, live in the fancy tasteless palace, use yachts, its tonnage and value are commensurate.with the entire Russian Navy, enjoying unlimited power and total impunity … To do this, they are willing to sacrifice many lives.Thousands Russians and Ukrainians died, “the appeal said.
The diplomat specifically criticizes the Russian Foreign Ministry as a system that “deceives itself” and acts like a propaganda machine.
“Minister Lavrov is a good description of the breakdown of this system. For 18 years, he has gone from a professional and educated intellectual, a model for many employees, to someone who constantly broadcasts mutually negative statements. and threatens the world (that is, Russia also) with nuclear weapons. Now the Foreign Ministry does not engage in diplomacy, but sows lies, inciting hatred and war, “Bondarev wrote.
He stressed that Russia was left at the forefront not because of a fictional “Russophobia”, but as a result of its own aggressive policy.
He ended the letter by saying that staying in his diplomatic position and maintaining this course was tantamount to betraying his country, so he decided to quit.
Finally! Boris Bondarev should be invited to speak in Davos this week. Hopefully other Russian professional diplomats will now follow his example and resign to maintain their personal dignity. @borgebrende @fuecks @fritzfelgentreu @MunSecConf https://t.co/BtvM6D0ayF

Recall, the UN General Assembly on April 7 expelled Russia from its membership after reports of the killing of Russian military civilians in Ukraine. The place of the Russian Federation was taken by the Czech Republic.
And in March, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe expelled Russia from the organization. Prior to that, the exclusion of the Russian Federation was unanimously supported by PACE.
