Kyiv: Russian troops have been ordered to withdraw from the west bank of the Dnipro River near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson by the country’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The withdrawal of the forces has been seen as a major setback for Moscow.
With the decision, there are chances of the war turning its tables.
