A Ukrainian soldier narrowly avoided being run over by his own vehicle in a battle with Russia. The dramatic video was captured by soldiers of the 93rd Assault Brigade near Bakhmut. Two armoured vehicles are shown driving into battle near the city, in the east. When suddenly a Russian artillery gun opens fire on them from a nearby hill. The shell only just misses the vehicles which fortunately escape unharmed. But in the chaos one Ukrainian soldiers falls off the vehicle in front. And is extremely lucky to avoid being run down by the vehicle following behind. The Ukrainians open fire on the Russians before the footage cuts out. It is not clear exactly when or where the video was recorded. But the Ukrainians recently broke through Russia's defences south of Bakhmut. They are trying to surround the city and pin down some of Putin's best troops. Which will keep them away from other attacks taking place in the south.
