Slap in the face of Moscow: Russian diplomat resigns with tough open letter | Abroad

Geneva – Is it a ‘suicide letter’? Russian diplomat Boris Bondarev, based at the UN mission in Geneva, has publicly lashed out at his bosses in Moscow and resigned. In a farewell letter, he says ‘never been so ashamed of his country’. “It was no longer a question of if, but when I would do this. I want to be able to look in the mirror again in the morning.”
