A Russian retreat could be tactical. Do the Russians suspect that Ukraine might want to throw everything at Kherson for headline reasons at this time of elections. The US is economically stressed, and its people are anxious; the large transfer of funds has to be justified.
What is basic is that the Russian strategic envelope would still be intact.
