Russia-Ukraine War: "Begin to pull out troops," Shoigu said during a televised meeting with Russia's commander in Ukraine.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday ordered Moscow's troops to withdraw from the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine, which Ukrainian forces have been advancing on for weeks.
"Begin to pull out troops," Shoigu told a televised meeting with Russia's commander in Ukraine, Sergey Surovikin.
The commander had proposed the "difficult decision" of pulling back from Kherson and setting up defences on the left bank of the Dnipro River.
Kherson city was the first urban hub captured by Russia during its "special military operation" and the only regional capital controlled by the Russians since the offensive began on February 24.
