Boris Bondarev, who identified himself on LinkedIn as a counselor at Russia's permanent mission to the UN who worked on arms control, told Reuters:"I went to the mission like any other Monday morning and I forwarded my resignation letter and I walked out."

Boris Bondarev, who identified himself on LinkedIn as a counselor at Russia's permanent mission to the UN who worked on arms control, told Reuters: "I went to the mission like any other Monday morning and I forwarded my resignation letter and I walked out." He said he had raised his concerns about the invasion with senior embassy staff several times. "I was told to keep my mouth shut in order to avoid ramifications," he said.Earlier, he announced his departure on LinkedIn.

Ukraine had urged Russian diplomats to resign in a Human Rights Council debate in March. However, Bondarev said he did not expect others to follow. "I'm afraid I am the only one.""It seems that there is only one honest person at the foreign ministry," she wrote on Twitter.
