A new video that surfaced on social media on Tuesday shows Russian troops leaving a town on the east bank of the Dnieper from where they retreated last week, Reuters reported.

Reuters journalists note that the recording suggests that one of the largest withdrawals of the war, launched by Vladimir Putin on February 24, may not have ended last Friday, when the Russian Defense Ministry announced the evacuation of all soldiers and equipment from the western bank of the river. Dnipro river.

Despite presenting a 10-point plan to end the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told world leaders at the G20 summit that Ukraine would not abandon its campaign to liberate the country from Russian forces after they entered the city of Kherson, the only regional capital that managed to capture the troops of the interventionists.

“We will not allow Russia to wait, build up its forces, and then start a new round of terror and global destabilization,” he said during a video conference at the G20 summit in Indonesia. “I am convinced that now is the time when Russia’s destructive war must and can be stopped,” he added.

Last Thursday and Friday, crowds of happy residents of the western bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region cleared Ukrainian troops town after town on the way to the city of the same name.

It was one of Kyiv’s biggest victories since the start of the war, when Ukrainian troops entered the city, which President Vladimir Putin declared just six weeks ago would always belong to Russia.
