Russia Orders Retreat From Kherson, a Serious Reversal in the Ukraine War

Russia’s position had grown perilous in Kherson. From the Russian point of view, it is a strategic city and one of the biggest prizes seized in its Ukraine invasion. However, Russian hawks reacted angrily to the withdrawal. 


Consequently, the Kremlin on Wednesday announced a retreat of Russian forces from the strategic city in southern Ukraine (Kherson), constituting a concession to military reality eight months after capturing the area, and one of the most significant reversals of President Vladimir V. Putin 's war effort.
