A Ukrainian soldier says he was smuggled out from behind enemy lines stuffed inside a sofa on the trailer of a car through six Russian checkpoints as Moscow's war with Kyiv rages on. Artem Lukianenko, a 25 year old soldier with Ukraine's 28th Mechanized Brigade described his great escape in a report published Tuesday by Ukrainian news outlet Hromadske. But Zhenia freaked out within minutes of being inside the sofa, so Lukianenko took his place and Zhenia stayed behind.

The military said it had reclaimed the village of Storozhove early Monday, suggesting it had crossed the Mokri Yaly River from its positions in the village of Blahodatne. The combat with tanks, armored vehicles, howitzers, drones and infantry is happening on farmland near the small river that loops around the villages now changing hands in the fighting. Ukraine did not dispute those claims of losses last week, even as it gave signals that the long-awaited push was underway. It also appeared that flooding after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine had done little to slow Ukraine’s advance. The Ukrainian military said on Monday that Russia had also blown up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River to thwart Ukrainian crossings.

Russia’s claim of victory in Bakhmut suggests that the brutal urban combat that marked the deadliest battle of its war in Ukraine might be over. Those gains will allow Ukrainian troops to continue raining artillery on Russian forces trying to hold Bakhmut, according to Ukrainian officials. A battle on May 6 breached Russian lines south of the village of Ivanivske and forced Russian soldiers into a disorganized retreat.
