'So ashamed':
Russian diplomat quits over Ukraine invasion, attacking Putin's circle as corrupt and obsessed with luxury.
A top Russian diplomat has resigned his post with a scathing letter attacking Russia's war in Ukraine and what he described as his country's political degradation, according to multiple reports.
"Never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 this year," wrote Boris Bondarev in a letter sent to diplomats on Monday and shared by the nonprofit organization UN Watch.
