"Taken out in the couch": the story

The fighter of the Knights of the Winter Hike was injured during the assault and was occupied. Local residents rescued Artem and two brothers, they hid them from the invaders for more than a month. Ukrainian defender, 25-year-old Artem Lukiananenko is a serviceman of the 28th separate mechanized brigade named after Knights of the Winter Hike. In the fall of 2022, he, together with two brothers, hid in the cellar of the village of Pravdine in the Kherson region, which was occupied.

He was able to take it out of occupation in the sofa. The history of the serviceman was told by Hromadske journalists. At the beginning of the full -scale war, Artem was 23 years old. In June 2022, he agreed to be taken into the army, provided that he signed a three -year contract. He was then sent to study in the United Kingdom.

After receiving the basic training of Artem, he got in the 28th OMBR, where his unit was tasked with grouping near the village of Stepova Valley and prepared for the assault of the Truth. After the art preparation, the soldiers were storming. During the fighting, Artem Lukiananenko was injured, a fragment pierced her helmet. The assault ended. Probably the occupiers knew about the planned assault, says Artem.

The wounded Lukiananenko was waiting for the truth to evacuate with twice as old as senior serviceman Sergei, who was injured during the battle. However, over time, they realized that they were surrounded, and the brothers left the village. So the fighters decided to find an empty house to find medicines and foods, as well as not finding them. In a few days the military came into contact with the local.

A resident of the truthful Oleg hid Artem with Sergei in a cellar, where there was another military of the Armed Forces, 23-year-old Eugene. During the occupation, Oleg and his family began to develop a plan of escaping from the village, because the invaders were ordered to evict their own home. The enemy planned to place reinforcements there, so Oleg warned that it was necessary to remove servicemen. If Oleg's family were exposed, they would be killed with his wife.

They wanted to take out the military in Belozerka, where the daughter rented the house. The city was also occupied. "The thin and smallest growth of Zhenyu suggested to take out the sofa. Artem - in the refrigerator, removing the rubber from the door to get the air there. And the oldest Sergius - under foreign documents on a passenger place in a car. The first man had already deceased.

At checkpoints it was possible to explain that other documents with photography were burned during shelling, " - wrote in the publication. The plan immediately had to be changed because Zhenya spanned in the closed space of the sofa. Artem climbed there. 6 checkpoints of the invaders had to be passed to the Belozerka. "On the first and second checkpoints, the Russians were removed from the trailer and the geese and the washing machine.

They asked:" What do you still have, maybe we will leave something? "There would be a surprise," Artem said on the road, being sure that if the first 3 passes, then he will not be found further. The plan worked. The military was taken to the occupied Belozerka. It was safer, but the invaders could come at any time. The Ukrainian counter -offensive lasted, so for a month the forces of defense released the Belozerka.

And the next day, Artem, Yevgeny and Sergiy were taken away by his brothers, led by a chaplain of the 28th brigade. The communication with the command managed to establish in the truth. They wrote to the messenger, and then Oleg drove phones in Belozerka to send messages from the occupation through Wi-Fi. After the de -occupation, Oleg White also went to the army at the age of 57. After that, Artem continued the struggle for Ukraine and fought in the Bakhmut direction.

Journalists met with a fighter in December 2023. "I am already physically and morally exhausted,"-confesses a 25-year-old warrior who was sent for treatment after a nervous breakdown in positions. The military says he would like to relax, so he hopes for the newly mobilized. Recall that Major General Sergey Krivonos called the perfect age for mobilization.
