An official says Ukraine’s troops are “almost fully in control” after Russia completed its retreat

Ukrainian soldiers are welcomed into Kherson by jubilant residents, after Russia said it had fully withdrawn from the key southern city.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Mary Fitzgerald, non-resident scholar of the Middle East Institute; and Andrew Small, Senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall fund.
