Russia to pull back troops from key Ukrainian city

Russia's military has been ordered to pull out of the Ukrainian city of Kherson, the only regional capital it captured after invading in February. The commander of Russia's troops in Ukraine said it was no longer possible to keep supplying the city. The withdrawal means Russian forces will pull out entirely from the western bank of the River Dnipro. We ask if the Russian withdrawal from Kherson is a genuine turning-point in the war.
