0:55Now PlayingRussia ordered its troops to leave Ukraine’s city of Kherson, the first major regional center seized in its invasion, in a highly symbolic setback for President Vladimir Putin.
With Kyiv’s forces pressing their counteroffensive in the region bordering occupied Crimea, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in a televised briefing Wednesday ordered the troops to withdraw from the western bank of the Dnipro River and move to the other shore.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg stressed the importance of making sure Russia does not win the war in Ukraine and said the alliance would support the country for "as long as it takes."
Stoltenberg said Russian President Vladimir Putin had made several strategic mistakes when he invaded Ukraine, including not anticipating the cohesiveness of the alliance's support for the war ravaged country.
"The message is that we need to continue to support Ukraine," Stoltenberg stressed.
"If President Putin wins in Ukraine, it'll be disastrous for Ukrainians, but it will also make us more vulnerable because then the message to President Putin to other authoritarian leaders will be that they can get their way, achieve their goals by using brute military force."
The head of the alliance said meanwhile that Russian forces had been pushed back from the north around Kyiv and also in eastern Kharkiv. "We see slowly how the Ukrainians are able to push back the Russian forces also in the south around Kherson," he added.
The withdrawal from the city of Kherson is a major setback for Russia -- it is the only regional capital Russian forces had seized during the eight-month war.
Stoltenberg also commented on the midterm elections in the United States saying there was strong bipartisan support for Ukraine and that had not changed with Tuesday's ballot.
