Kremlin spox on CNN

Putin “hasn’t achieved [his goals] yet” in Ukraine, Dmitry Peskov tells me. “It is going on strictly in accordance with the plans,” he insists, which are Ukraine’s demilitarization, neutrality, eliminating “nationalist battalions” & recognition of Crimea, Donetsk & Luhansk. pic.twitter.com/tIdiB7fD86

Peskov just refused to say Putin will not use nuclear weapons on @amanpour. In fact he confirmed he would under "existential threat".

Now, what's Putin's definition of an "existential threat"? THAT is the grand question.

Russia has withdrawn most of its helicopters from a strategic airport in Kherson, in southern Ukraine, according to satellite images analyzed by The Times, in what experts said could be a telltale sign of Russian military setbacks in the south of the country.

The removal of the equipment from the airport, evidenced by images captured by the space imaging company Planet Labs over six days, comes as the Ukrainian Army is pressing to retake lost territory in the Kherson region.

Kherson, a shipbuilding center east of Odessa on the Black Sea, was the first major city to be overwhelmed by Russian forces in the early days of the war. But Russia has failed to overtake the region as a whole.

Control over Kherson is essential to any effort to dominate the south broadly. The region, which lies just north of the Russian-controlled Crimean peninsula, stretches from the Black Sea coastline to the mouth of the Dnieper River.

Last week, Ukrainian forces attacked the Kherson airport, inflicting considerable damage to Russian equipment, which was clearly visible in satellite images and video of the aftermath. An image taken on Monday shows that previously visible aircraft had been removed, though Russian ground troops appear to still control the airport.

"The Ukrainian attack itself shows the vulnerability of the position, and the Russians may have decided that it's unwise to keep expensive aircraft parked there," Frederick W. Kagan, the director of the Critical Threats project at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote in an email. He said Russian forces appeared to have given up, at least for the moment, on taking Mykolaiv, a strategic city located on an inlet of the Black Sea, as well as other critical areas in southern Ukraine, like Odessa, a major economic and cultural center.

"The Russians will be back," says the 32 year old mayor.

"We know we can't win here without more anti-tank weapons." But says he's very grateful for the supplies so far.

Is this a smart move to say this and push Putin to go further?
