Kremlin says annexation and retreat 'not a contradiction' amid Ukrainian successes

Description

The conclusion of the legalities of the annexation of up to 18% of Ukrainian territory came as Russian forces battled to halt Ukrainian counter-offensives within it, especially north of Kherson and west of Luhansk. FRANCE 24's Chief Foreign Editor Rob Parsons tells us more.
