A Ukrainian flag has appeared on Svobody (Freedom) Square, in front of the provincial-administration building—a sign that Russian authority had evaporated after eight months of occupation
of the war in Ukraine, the frontlines have moved at a glacial pace: a kilometre here, a kilometre there. Much of the fighting has been positional: soldiers dug into trenches, exchanging artillery fire from well beyond visual range. But in a matter of days, Russia’s presence on the west bank of the Dnieper river appears to have evaporated. On November 9th Russia said itfrom Kherson city. By dawn on November 11th, it claimed, its withdrawal was complete.
Unconfirmed reports suggested that Ukrainian special forces had entered the city. By the morning of November 11th a Ukrainian flag had appeared on Svobody Square, in front of the provincial-administration building—a sign that Russian authority had evaporated afterof occupation. Images showed Ukrainian troops in the city’s western Shumensky district, a stone’s throw from the centre.
Mark Milley, America’s top military officer, had suggested that Russia would struggle to withdraw 20,000 to 30,000 troops quickly and easily, not least over a kilometre-wide river. “It won’t take them a day or two,” he said on November 9th. “This is going to take them days and perhaps even weeks to pull those forces south of that river.” But there were indications that Russia might indeed have done better than expected.
