[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Ukrainian-Russian war has been going on for nearly seven months. Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a national speech today (21st), announcing "partial mobilization", and the first batch of 300,000 reserve soldiers will be recruited.

In this regard, the US ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, said bluntly that Putin's move proves that Russia's failure has been revealed!

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces recently launched a counter-offensive and recovered large areas of lost land. The Russian army was beaten and retreated, and the separatists in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and other places controlled by Russia are still under control. The government is deeply afraid that the Ukrainian army will attack the liberation earlier, and has recently actively promoted the referendum on joining Russia, which is expected to be held from the 23rd to the 27th.

When Putin delivered a national speech today, he also ordered "partial mobilization" to fully liberate the Donbas region, and said that the relevant decree had been signed, which will take effect immediately.

He also said that "local mobilization" will be sufficient to confront the threats faced and protect the homeland, sovereignty and territorial integrity, ensuring the safety of the people and the people of the liberated areas.

In response, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Brinker bluntly tweeted on Wednesday: "The fake referendum and mobilization orders are signs of weakness in Russia! The U.S. will never recognize the annexed Ukrainian territory as belonging to Moscow, and we will continue to stand with Ukraine. together!"

In addition, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian president, said that Putin's move was foreseen long ago, which means that Moscow's invasion did not go as planned, and the enemy did not expect the Ukrainian army to counterattack so smoothly.

Sham referenda and mobilization are signs of weakness, of Russian failure. The United States will never recognize Russia's claim to purportedly annexed Ukrainian territory, and we will continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
