WeChat QR Friend Verification Required - Cannot Create Account

I am trying to create and use a WeChat account from Russia, but I cannot complete the required QR code friend verification. The system asks me to get help from an existing WeChat friend to verify my account, but I do not have any friends on WeChat who can perform this verification, so I am completely stuck and unable to use the service. Because of this requirement I cannot activate my account or access WeChat at all. I need to have an active WeChat account, but the current verification method makes this impossible for me. I kindly request that my account be activated and my QR code be redeemed without the need for friend verification, or that you provide me with an alternative verification method so I can complete registration and start using WeChat.
