– NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, Nov. 10, he was waiting to see how Russia’s withdrawal from Kherson played out, but if confirmed, it would be “another victory for Ukraine”.
“We have to see how the situation on the ground develops in the coming days. But what is clear is that Russia is under heavy pressure and if they leave Kherson, it would be another victory for Ukraine,” he said in Rome.
Ukraine said Thursday its forces had reclaimed a dozen villages in the southern Kherson region, a day after Russia ordered its troops to withdraw from the eponymous city.
“We have seen how the Ukrainian armed forces have been able to push back Russian forces and liberate territory,” Stoltenberg said.
“These gains belong to the brave courageous soldiers of Ukraine.–AFP
