He also described the Russian invasion as "an international crime". Mr Volobuev said: "I could no longer be in Russia. "I am Ukrainian by nationality, I was born in Akhtyrka (Sumy region), I could no longer observe from the outside what Russia is doing with my Motherland. "My visit is like repentance, I want to wash off my Russian past. "I want to stay in Ukraine until the victory." Speaking to The Insider, Mr Volubuev said that he had wanted to return to Ukraine since 2004, but was unable to do so for family reasons. "This is an international crime on the part of Putin, the Russian authorities and, in fact, the Russian people. "Because it is not Putin who kills Ukrainians here, it is not Putin who steals toilet bowls, it is not Putin who rapes women. This is the Russian people. "And I, although Ukrainian by nationality, also bear responsibility for this. "I am ashamed of this, I will repent for this all my life because I have a double responsibility - I am not just a Russian. "I was born here, I lived here for 18 years, so I answer double and triple." He added: "The Russians were killing my father, my acquaintances and close friends. (Article has pictures)

Putin humiliated by his allies. Leaders of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) met on May 16 amid the Ukraine crisis. Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to use the summit to strengthen the bloc of ex-Soviet states against the West. The CSTO is viewed as Putin’s bid to form a Eurasian regional order, an alternative to the Western liberal order. The summit was supposed to be a celebratory meeting to commemorate the group's founding 30 years ago. However, some experts believe the summit instead demonstrated discord among some of Putin's friendly neighbours. #CSTO #Putin #Lukashenko #Ukraine #NATO #Belarus
