Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to mobilise military reservists to support the war in Ukraine shows that “his invasion is failing”, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Wednesday.

“No amount of threats and propaganda can hide the fact that Ukraine is winning this war, the international community are united and Russia is becoming a global pariah,” he said in a statement.
