Battle of Kherson: Russian retreat confirms Putin is losing the war
Russia’s November 9
announcement of a general withdrawal from Kherson is further confirmation that
Vladimir Putin is losing the war. The Battle of Kherson itself is still far
from over, of course. Ahead are days and possibly weeks of further fighting as
tens of thousands of Russian troops attempt to withdraw in good order from
strongly entrenched defensive positions. It is entirely possible that this
could turn into a rout as isolated pockets of Russian soldiers attempt to save
themselves.
