Russia Sees First High Level Official Resign & Exit Country Over Putin's War

"Russia has its first high level dissenter who has stepped down from his government post and fled the country in protest over Putin's war in Ukraine.
"Russian climate envoy Anatoly Chubais has stepped down and left the country, citing his opposition to President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the situation, becoming the highest-level official to break with the Kremlin over the invasion," confirms Bloomberg.
The 66-year old Chubais had been named by Putin as envoy for sustainable development in December 2020, and crucially in the 1990's as one of the key architects of Russia's privatization era he had a hand in Putin's rise to power." ZeroHedge
