Over in Moscow, our Russia editor Steve Rosenberghas filmed a quick press preview, mopping up the Russian media’s framing of the announced pullout from Kherson.
What’s interesting, he notes, is the Kremlin’s decision to distance President Putin from the decision – putting it all on the military men: Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and General Sergei Surovikin.
See that and more in Steve’s clip below.
In today’s Russian papers: reaction to Russia’s Kherson retreat. Plus: “Our system is geared to the search for a great leader. His decisions are not up for discussion. So he mustn’t make mistakes, for there’s no mechanism to correct them.” #ReadingRussia pic.twitter.com/KvVaaBvWcT
