Russian forces have withdrawn from town in Kherson: Ukraine
Ukraine’s defense ministry said Thursday that Russian forces had withdrawn from the southern city of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region, despite no recent reports of a surge in fighting there.
“As of March 22, 2023, all units of the occupying army that were stationed in the settlement of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region left the town,” said a defense ministry statement.
AFP was unable to verify the claim and the defense ministry did not say its forces had entered the settlement.
