World / Zelenskyy says Ukrainian special military units entered Kherson after the retreat of the Russian army

Russia: fter kneeling in Kherson on behalf of Vladimir Putin's army in Russia, the city has once again been ruled by Ukraine. On Saturday, the Ukrainian army has entered Kherson. Russian forces captured the provincial capital of Kherson just days after the war against Ukraine began. People in the city are also seen rejoicing after the departure of Russian troops from Kherson and the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine's president said on Friday that special military units had entered Kherson, a large provincial capital captured by Russian forces at the start of the war. In a video address hours after Russia announced the completion of the withdrawal of its troops from the strategically important city, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, 'Our defenders are moving to the city right now. We are about to enter the city in a while. But special units are already in the city.

Retreating in Kherson is a big blow for Putin

Russia gave up its strong hold in this big city. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, Kherson was one of the first places to be captured. The withdrawal of Russian troops could prove favorable for the advance of the Ukrainian army in such places. The withdrawal of the Russian army from Kherson is seen as a major setback for Putin. Putin has had to withdraw his decision on many occasions in the war so far.

Russia had captured Kherson in March itself

Russia's Defense Ministry said all its troops had fully withdrawn by 5 a.m. from the west bank of the river separating Ukraine's Kherson region. The territory he left included the city of Kherson, which was the only provincial capital that Russia had captured during its nearly nine-month invasion of Ukraine.
