Russia Appears to Withdraw from Strategic Kinburn Spit in Ukraine
Russian forces seem to have pulled back from the Kinburn Spit, a key strategic location in Ukraine that controlled access to several ports.
At the start of the war in Ukraine, the Russian capture of Kinburn Spit β a narrow piece of land that holds the key to several Ukrainian ports β was hailed as one of Moscowβs most significant victories on the southern front. From there, Russia could launch attacks on the Ukrainian mainland, and use it as a springboard should it make an attempt to take Odesa. Now, Russian forces appear to have pulled back from the once so-strategic spit. What is going on?
