Russian Troops Signal Withdrawal from Occupied Kherson
------------------------------------------------------

US intelligence officials say Russian troops are poised for a complete
withdrawal from Kherson, as Ukrainian forces advance on the city which
Russia has occupied since early March. Russian forces have withdrawn to
the eastern bank of the Dnieper River; and earlier today, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said civilians should evacuate the Kherson
region. It's one of four Ukrainian territories which Russia claimed to
have annexed in September.

Elsewhere, Russian and Ukraine completed another prisoner swap on
Thursday, with each side releasing 107 POWs.
