Resignation “slap” to Vladimir Putin by the high-ranking Russian diplomat Boris Bodarev. The Counselor of the Permanent Representation of Russia to the UN in Geneva submitted his resignation as he opposed the war in Ukraine. Bodarev is probably the first Russian diplomat to announce his resignation over the war in Ukraine.
He announced his decision in a text message about Putin on his Facebook page, in which he wrote: “In the 20 years of my diplomatic career, I have seen various turns in our foreign policy, but I have never felt such shame for my countryas of the 24th of February of this year “.
“The offensive waged by (Russian President Vladimir Putin) Putin against Ukraine, but in fact against the whole Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but I would even say a heinous crime against the people of Russia, which with “thick letter Z erased all hopes and prospects for a prosperous and free society in our country”, he writes characteristically in his post.
Bodarev points out that one of the goals of those who unleashed the war is to stay in power forever, on the altar of which they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes. “Thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have already been killed,” he said.
“Unfortunately, I have to point out that these 20 years the level of lying and pseudo-professionalismThe work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was constantly growing. “But in recent years this has become catastrophic.”
One of the goals of those who unleashed the war is to stay in power forever, on the altar of which they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as they need.
According to him, “the best illustration of the decline of this system” was the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov. “Within 18 years he became a professional and educated intellectual, so valued by my colleagues, a man who constantly makes contradictory statements and threatens the world (including Russia as well) with nuclear weapons,” Bodarev said.
Today, the Russian Foreign Ministry does not deal with diplomacy, Bodarev points out. “Everything goes back to incitement to war, to lies, to hatred. “This serves the interests of a few, very few people, who in this way contribute to the further isolation and decline of my country.”
Bodarev adds that he has been a diplomat for 20 years and that the Foreign Ministry was for him “his home and his family”. «But I just can no longer participate in this bloody, meaningless and a completely unnecessary shame “, he concludes in his statement.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has not yet commented on Bodarev’s resignation.
In March, diplomats from dozens of European countries walked out of the UN Human Rights Council as Lavrov’s speech at the disarmament conference was broadcast.
