Ukrainian official mocks Russia over its failures after Putin's threatening speech: 'Everything is
still according to the plan, right?'A senior Ukrainian official took a jab at Russia over its many battlefield failures in his country after Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a threatening speech where he announced plans for partial military mobilization.
"210th day of the 'three-day war'. Russians who demanded the destruction of [Ukraine] ended up getting: 1. Mobilization. 2. Closed borders, blocking of bank accounts. 3. Prison for desertion," Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, tweeted on Wednesday.
He continued: "Everything is still according to the plan, right? Life has a great sense of humor."

In a rare, televised address on Wednesday, Putin called for the "partial mobilization" of hundreds of thousands of Russia's military reservists — a move he said would start immediately and one that would see reservists gain the same status as the regular troops in Russia's armed forces.
