Den ryske FN-representanten i Geneve Boris Bondarev avgår nu i protest mot Putins pågående invasion i Ukraina och de ryska försöken att utplåna landet. Det kommer nu uppmaningar från flera håll till andra ryska diplomater arbetandes i FN, eller i omvärlden, att göra samma sak:

Rysslands kamikazekrig är allt annat än populärt då det än så länge dödat 25.000-30.000 ryska soldater och värnpliktiga, och Kremlins envishet att fortsätta det innebär att fler anatagligen kommer avgå i protest mot detta ödslande av ryska liv och resurser:

Boris Bondarev tycks ha en ganska nykter syn på situationen Ryssland (och framförallt Putin) försatt sig i, och vad som behövs göras för att försöka ta sig ur den. Kommer hans avhopp och avståndstagande från den officiella ryska linjen ha någon dominoeffekt bland ryska representanter eller diplomater?
Och på vilka sätt kan ryska representanter i utlandet, vana vid det välstånd som råder utanför Ryssland, påverka situationen inom landet? Hur kommer detta avhopp påverka omvärldens interaktion med den enväldige Putin?

Citat:
"My name is Boris Bondarev, in the MFA of Russia since 2002, since 2019 until now - Counsellor of the Russian Mission to the UN Office at Geneva.
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 February 24 of this year. The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia, with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country.
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. To achieve that they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes. Thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have already died just for this.
I regret to admit that over all these twenty years the level of lies and unprofessionalism in the work of the Foreign Ministry has been increasing all the time. However, in most recent years, this has become simply catastrophic. Instead of unbiased information, impartial analysis and sober forecasting, there are propaganda clichés in the spirit of Soviet newspapers of the 1930s. A system has been built that deceives itself.
Minister Lavrov is a good illustration of the degradation of this system. In 18 years, he went from a professional and educated intellectual, whom many my colleagues held in such high esteem, to a person who constantly broadcasts conflicting statements and threatens the world (that is, Russia too) with nuclear weapons!
Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy. 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. Russia no longer has allies, and there is no one to blame but its reckless and ill-conceived policy.
I studied to be a diplomat and have been a diplomat for twenty years. The Ministry has become my home and family. But I simply cannot any longer share in this bloody, witless and absolutely needless ignominy."
