Ukrainian official responds to Putin: "Life has a great sense of humor"

A top Ukrainian official on Wednesday responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech announcing a partial mobilization of Russian citizens, saying “Life has a great sense of humor.”

In a tweet, Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the Head of the Office of President of Ukraine, stated: “Russians who demanded the destruction of [Ukraine] ended up getting: 1. Mobilization. 2. Closed borders, blocking of bank accounts. 3. Prison for desertion...Everything is still according to the plan, right? Life has a great sense of humor."
