UK “Defence Secretary @BWallaceMP response to the Russian withdrawal from Kherson.
“Russia’s announced withdrawal from Kherson marks another strategic failure for them. In February, Russia failed to take any of its major objectives except Kherson.
Now with that also being surrendered, ordinary people of Russia must surely ask themselves “What was it all for?”.
The Russian Army has suffered a huge loss of life as a result of their illegal invasion and have only achieved international isolationism and humiliation. Ukraine will press on.
The UK and the international community will continue to support them, and while the withdrawal is welcome, no one is going to underestimate the continuing threat posed by the Russian Federation.”
