Russia’s announcement this week that it was retreating from parts of the Kherson region has been cast in doubt, as events have been obfuscated by the fog of war and concern rose in Kyiv that the Kremlin might be bluffing in an effort to draw Ukrainian troops into a trap.
But on Thursday, Ukrainian officials said that Russian troops were indeed withdrawing from some areas they had controlled along the front line in southern Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky said dozens of towns and villages had been retaken.
Ukraine’s military also said it had recaptured 100 square miles in the past 24 hours.
“The number of Ukrainian flags returning to their rightful place within the framework of the ongoing defense operation is already dozens,” Mr. Zelensky said in his nightly address, citing 41 towns and villages. “Everything that is happening now has been achieved by months of brutal struggle. It was achieved through courage, pain and loss.”

KHERSON, Ukraine, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Russian soldiers of committing war crimes and killing civilians in Kherson, parts of which were retaken by Ukraine’s army last week after Russia pulled out.
“Investigators have already documented more than 400 Russian war crimes. Bodies of dead civilians and servicemen have been found,” Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Sunday.
“The Russian army left behind the same savagery it did in other regions of the country it entered,” he said.
