Russia says retreat from key city of Kherson has begun, but Ukraine remains cautious

LA Times  

Russia said its troops began pulling out of a strategic Ukrainian city Thursday, amid growing signs it was following through on a retreat that would mark a turning point in the grinding war. Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak warned that Russian forces had laid mines throughout Kherson, saying they wanted to turn it into a “city of death.” Alexander Khara, of the Kyiv-based think tank Center for Defense Strategies, echoed those concerns, saying that he remains fearful of the possibility that Russian forces could destroy a dam upriver from Kherson and flood approaches to the city. Sunak spoke Thursday to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and his office said both men agreed that “it was right to continue to exercise caution until the Ukrainian flag was raised over the city.” Still, Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said a day earlier that he believed a retreat was underway. The bridges are in very poor condition — the personnel can be taken out on boats, but the equipment needs to be taken out only on barges and pontoons, and this is very easily shelled by the Ukrainian army.” Meanwhile, the head of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said Thursday that three civilians had been killed in the region and 12 others wounded in the last 24 hours.
