KHERSON RETREAT SHOWS RUSSIAN MILITARY HAS ‘REAL PROBLEMS’, SAYS BIDEN, AS ZELENSKIY URGES CAUTION

US President Joe Biden has disclosed that Russia’s decision to withdraw from the Ukrainian city of Kherson shows its military has “some real problems”.

Mr Biden said he had been expecting the move for “some time” and that it would allow both sides to “recalibrate their positions” over the winter.

Kherson is the only major Ukrainian city to fall to Russian forces.

Ukraine is treating the news of the withdrawal with scepticism, saying it would move “very carefully”.
General Sergei Surovikin, who was made Russia’s commander in Ukraine just weeks ago, announced the withdrawal on Wednesday accompanied by the military top brass on Russian state TV.

He confirmed Russian troops would pull back entirely from the western bank of the River Dnipro.
