Joo Ukra US Ambassador: "Russian Military Mobilization Order, a Sign of Weakness and Failure"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] On the 21st (local time), Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a partial military mobilization related to the Ukraine war, while the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine evaluated it as a sign of weakness and failure.

Bridget Brink, the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, criticized on her Twitter that day, "The sham referendums and the mobilization order are signals of Russia's weakness and failure." She added, "The United States will never recognize Russia's claims regarding territorial annexation," emphasizing, "The United States will stand with Ukraine forever."

Later, Ambassador Brink posted additional tweets stating that Russia attacked key infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, and the U.S. is cooperating with local governments to help rebuild communities on the ground. She mentioned assistance in repairing heating pipes at kindergartens and schools in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, which was hit by Russian missile strikes in March, and shared commemorative photos taken by those involved during their visit to the site.

This is interpreted as emphasizing the United States’ active support for Ukraine.

Earlier, President Putin announced in a national address that he would issue a partial military mobilization order. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated it would mobilize 300,000 reservists. President Putin also declared support for holding referendums on the Russian annexation plan for occupied territories within Ukraine.
