In the article, Putin can't escape fallout from Russian retreat in Ukraine, the author explains how Russian military generals have received criticism for the withdraw from the Ukrainian city of Kherson. The article explains how Russia has been blaming the west as well as NATO for the difficulty during the war. The article has a western tone to it with some of the verbiage that is used, however you are still able to understand that Russia is struggling to maintain their spirits in this ongoing war. The Russian propaganda in the beginning of the war was that the war would be swift and painless, that was not the case. Nine months later Russia is losing an occupied city. This was an interesting article because, even through the western tone, you get to see Russian view of the west and NATO assisting Ukraine in the war. With the withdraw it intensifies the war, with worries of nuclear weapons being scarily on the radar of possibilities.
