The Russian Counsellor to the UN in Geneva says he is “ashamed” of his country

One of Russia’s most senior diplomats has resigned in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Boris Bondarev says the war is “aggressive” and has criticised his nation for their violence in Ukraine.

The 20-year-veteran has resigned in protest, according to multiple media outlets.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is now the top recipient of U-S military aid, with America announcing a further 40 billion dollars for the war-torn nation.

Ticker News spoke with Mark Cancian who has decades of experience working in Defense budget strategy, war funding, as well as nuclear weapons development.

He says Ukraine wouldn’t have survived this long if it wasn’t for the west’s military support.

Cancian adds that as the war has changed, so have the weapons provided by the US.

The west has significantly funded Ukraine’s military might, with Russia saying the west is at war with Russia without having to step foot on the ground.
