KUPYANSK, Ukraine—For 48 hours in muddy trenches near this northeastern city, the Ukrainian troops had fought off waves of Russian infantry emerging from the tall grass, while artillery hammered everything around them. They were exhausted, and officers had finally ordered them to return to base with the six Russians they had taken captive. At 3 a.m., two Ukrainian soldiers and their commander set off with the prisoners, walking through a shattered tree line toward the evacuation point.

HROZA, Ukraine—When the Mamon brothers were growing up in this farming village near the border with Russia, Andriy Kozyr would occasionally stop by the family’s house. Once, returning from a construction job abroad, he brought them a scooter and a toy gun, plus cognac for their parents. That’s how people got along in Hroza before the Russians marched in early last year. Kozyr enlisted in the Ukrainian military and was killed in action. The Mamon brothers went to work for the Russian forces occupying Hroza.

Ukraine and Russia have been engaged in grueling fighting for months over the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. WSJ explains how the city turned into the bloodiest and one of the longest battles of the war in Ukraine. Photo illustration: Adam AdadaIn a valley far from the front lines last week, several men practiced dropping a half-full bottle of water from a small aerial drone, as though it were a grenade. Others fired rifles at targets 100 yards away. A third group set off for a trek through the surrounding hills, which burst with white and yellow flowers.

☆ Kyiv Power Cuts Bring Cold Food, Scheduled Vacuuming, Struggling Businesses

KYIV, Ukraine—With the electricity out, the Frankly coffee shop in central Kyiv had to cook syrnyky—Ukrainian cheese pancakes—on a small propane camping stove. Baristas made drip coffee and tea using a large vat of hot water, boiled before the power cut. Sales were down 86% from a week earlier, when the lights were still on. The owners were asking a relative to buy a generator in Poland, as affordable models are sold out in Ukraine. They are designing a cold-food menu and lighting the cafe with candles.

KYIV, Ukraine—A few hours after a Russian cruise missile slammed into this city’s Shevchenko Park, locals were strolling with their dogs in the afternoon sunshine. A maintenance worker shooed people looking at the blast crater off the sidewalk, so he could clear leaves off the path. In the wake of the biggest attack on Ukraine’s capital since the first weeks of the war, Kyiv residents are still trying to live as normally as possible. The goal for the attack, residents said, was to frighten them into panic or surrender. By carrying on, they wanted to show that they wouldn’t be cowed.
