Russian diplomat blasts Putin govt over Ukraine invasion; Resigns from UN post

• Former Russian diplomat, Boris Bonderav, resigned on Monday claiming that he was ashamed of his country and Putin’s aggressive war unleashed on Ukraine. He was serving at the country's permanent mission at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. In his resignation letter, he wrote, "Those who conceived this war want only one thing -- to remain in power forever, live in pompous tasteless palaces, sail on yachts comparable in tonnage and cost to the entire Russian Navy, enjoying unlimited power and complete impunity.” Bondarev also said that he had expressed his concern and dismay to the senior embassy staff a lot of times about the invasion, but his concerns were not heard. "I was told to keep my mouth shut in order to avoid ramifications," Bondarev was quoted as saying by Reuters.- Watch this video for more details.
