UK Hails Russia’s Withdrawal From Kherson, Ukraine(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Moscow’s “strategic failure” in the city of Kherson will sow doubt among the Russian public about the point of the war in Ukraine, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Saturday. Kherson was the first major urban hub to fall after President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into Ukraine on February 24. “Russia’s announced withdrawal from Kherson marks another strategic failure for them. In February, Russia failed to take any of its major objectives except Kherson,” Wallace said in a statement. “The UK and the international community will continue to support them (Ukraine), and while the withdrawal is welcome, no one is going to underestimate the continuing threat posed by the Russian Federation.”AFP
