From: Inside Story Russian troops withdraw from the strategic city after the advance of Ukrainian forces. Is this a turning point in the war? Russia has withdrawn from Kherson, the only major city it captured in nearly nine months of war in Ukraine. After weeks of Ukrainian advances, the Russian military says 30,000 troops have withdrawn east of the Dnieper River. The Kremlin had annexed the region just six weeks earlier in a move that drew international condemnation. Ukraine’s president called the recapture a “historic day.” Is this a turning point in the war? And how might it change the military strategies on both sides?
