she’s definitely stepping down early but there’s no source for that quote besides this tweet, or even that she’s leaving Russia at all
Idk about the quote but I googled her name in Russian and found a few Russian-language articles titled like “Елена Бунина уехала из России” which means she has left Russia.
Оkay yeah here’s the quote. Source is Radio Svoboda which is a branch of Radio Free Liberty, which a little propaganda-y but okay. The Bell, which is a Russian language news organization based in the U.S. also reported the quote.
oh interesting, I don’t speak Russian, is that the quote in the tweet?
The last bit, yea.
“Я не буду возвращаться: не могу жить в стране, которая воюет со своими соседями.” “I will not return: I cann’t work in a nation, that wars with its neighbors.”
