Vladimir Putin’s announcement of partial mobilisation of Russia’s military reservists is a “clear admission” his invasion of Ukraine is failing, Downing Street has said.

Britain will continue to support Ukraine in the face of “this assault on their sovereignty”, a No 10 spokesperson said.

She said: Putin’s speech this morning and his move to mobilise the Russian population are a clear admission that his invasion is failing.

The UK alongside our international partners stand united in condemning the Russian government’s reprehensible actions. Qazet.az reports
