Ukrainian troops have reclaimed dozens of landmine-littered settlements abandoned by Russian forces in southern Ukraine, officials said, the day after Moscow announced its withdrawal from the strategic capital city of Kherson province. As Ukrainian troops close in on Kherson, FRANCE 24 is joined by Lieutenant General Michel Yakovleff, Professor at Sciences-Po and Former Vice-Chief of Staff at NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (Shape). "The Ukrainians will need time to take stock," explains Lieutenant General Yakovleff," and measure and exploit the degree of victory they will have achieved."
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says Ukraine is still inflicting major losses on Russia, despite Kyiv not managing to regain captured territory. "Of course we would like them to to liberate as much territory as possible, as quickly as possible, but even though the frontline has not moved, the Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian invaders," he says.
