Russian withdrawal from Kherson to take at least a week: Kyiv

Ukraine's defense minister said on Thursday it would take Russia at least a week to withdraw its troops from the southern city of Kherson and that winter would slow down operations on the battlefield, giving both sides a chance to recuperate.
In an interview in Kyiv, Oleksii Reznikov told Reuters Russia had a contingent of 40,000 troops in Kherson region and that intelligence showed its forces remained in the city, around the city and on the right bank of the vast Dnipro River.

“It's not that easy to withdraw these troops from Kherson in one day or two days. As a minimum, (it will take) one week,” he said.
