The United States declared an extraordinary victory for Ukraine after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson. This is reported by Spiegel.
"It looks like the Ukrainians have just won an extraordinary victory in which the only regional capital captured by Russia in this war is now back under the Ukrainian flag," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Saturday while visiting Cambodia with US President Joe Biden. .
Sullivan noted that the withdrawal of Russian troops has "broader strategic consequences."
In particular, it envisages reducing the long-term threat from Russia to other southern Ukrainian cities, such as Odesa.
Sullivan said that "this great moment happened thanks to the incredible tenacity and skill of Ukrainians." But he also mentioned the support of the US and other countries.
