Russian Troops Signal Withdrawal from Occupied Kherson

HeadlineNov 04, 2022

U.S. intelligence officials say Russian troops are poised for a complete withdrawal from Kherson, as Ukrainian forces advance on the city which Russia has occupied since early March. Russian forces have withdrawn to the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, and earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin said civilians should evacuate the Kherson region. It’s one of four Ukrainian territories which Russia claimed to have annexed in September.

Elsewhere, Russia and Ukraine completed another prisoner swap on Thursday with each side releasing 107 POWs.
