Following the announcement of the Khaisson city’s restoration, London perceived the Russian withdrawal as “a new strategic loss” to Moscow while Ukraine saw progress toward a “common victory” for the West.
In reference to the nations that have provided his country with weapons since the conflict began, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimtero Coliba acknowledged on Saturday during his meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Cambodia that only a small number of people thought Ukraine would survive.
On the other hand, Blinkkin praised the “wonderful courage” of the Ukrainian army and people, and promised that American support would continue as long as it was necessary to break the defeat in Russia, according to his words.
The Ukrainian minister’s comments came hours after he said on the same occasion that although Ukraine wins battles, the war continues.
He also said that the war would continue as long as Russia mobilised more recruits and sent more weapons to Ukraine during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi outside of the Southeast Asian Association summit.
For his part, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace noted that in February, “Russia crippled control of major goals set by other than Jiusson,” and that this withdrawal from Jiusson represents a “new strategic loss” for Moscow.
On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had completed the withdrawal of its forces from Jiusson and its retreat to the West Bank of the Dnibro River, confirming that it had not incurred any losses in lives or equipment during the withdrawal.
It is noteworthy that this withdrawal dealt the Russian army a painful blow and demonstrated a significant setback, particularly since it was the first significant Ukrainian city to fall into his hands since the conflict began on February 24.
Together with Donetsk, Lugansk, and Zaburijia, it also forms the group of four areas that the Kremlin declared to be annexed in late September 2022.
Also, its geographical location is of special importance, as the region is located on the borders of the Dnibro Petrovsk and Nicolav regions, and it has land borders with Crimea in the south, while overlooking the Black Sea in the southwest, and in the southeast on the Azov Sea..
Ukraine: With the restoration, we share a victory with the West.
