CNN, eight hours ago:
as Moscow slams Kyiv for the report From CNN's Tim Lister and Olga Voitovych The Ukrainian military quickly retracted its claim that Russian forces had withdrawn from a strategic town in Ukraine's southern Kherson region Thursday, as Moscow-backed leaders mocked Kyiv over the report. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces initially said in an update Thursday that all Russian military units had pulled out of the town of Nova Kakhovka on the east bank of the Dnipro River. It would have marked a significant development, as the first east bank settlement of any size seized by Ukraine since forcing Russia's troops out of Kherson and seizing the west bank last November. But the General Staff retracted the claim a short time later, writing in a statement on Facebook: “The occupiers are still located in Nova Kakhovka. The information about the enemy's alleged withdrawal from this settlement was made public as a result of incorrect use of available data.”
Oops!
Further we've seen countless videos of Russia rebuilding apartments, parks, playgrounds, schools, theaters, hospitals and sports complexes in Mariupol and other cities on the front.......but have yet to witness any videos of Ukraine rebuilding cities in their regained territories.
