The Russian general in overall command of the war says it was no longer possible to keep their troops there supplied.
LONDON, United Kingdom – Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday, November 9, ordered his troops to withdraw from the occupied Ukrainian city of Kherson and take up defensive lines on the opposite bank of the River Dnipro.
In televised comments, General Sergei Surovikin, in overall command of the war, said it was no longer possible to keep Kherson city supplied. The news followed weeks of Ukrainian advances towards the city and a race by Russia to relocate tens of thousands of its residents. The announcement had been anticipated by Russia’s influential war bloggers, who described it as a bitter blow.
