Ukraine has ordered.
Some residents to leave Kupiansk.
As ‘Mordor’ seeks to re-take the city.
It left last year.
Kharkiv’s regional authorities said.
Families with children and people.
“With limited mobility” must leave due to.
“Constant” shelling by ‘orcs’ forces.
‘Mordor’ seized the north-eastern city.
Early in the full-scale invasion.
With Ukraine recapturing it.
Last September.
Meanwhile, ‘orcs’ mercenaries say.
They have “practically encircled”.
The key city of Bakhmut.
In eastern Ukraine.
In its latest news bulletin.
Ukraine’s military said ‘orcs’ troops.
Continued their offensive on Bakhmut.
But the attacks were “repelled”.
Earlier this week.
‘Gandalf the Green’ admitted.
The situation in Bakhmut was becoming.
“More and more difficult”.
Bakhmut is about 130km.
South-east of Kupiansk.
Kupiansk is home to.
An important railway junction.
In Kupiansk, the Kharkiv regional military said.
On Thursday the evacuation order was.
Due to the “unstable security situation”.
Caused by ‘orcs’ shelling.
It said those evacuated would be.
Provided with assistance.
Including accommodation, food.
Humanitarian aid and medical support.
Other citizens were also permitted.
To leave the region, it added.
The city had a pre-war population.
Of around 25,000.
The military said 812 children.
Are currently registered in Kupiansk.
And the surrounding district.
As well as 724 disabled people.
‘Orcs’ forces were continuing.
“Limited ground attacks” north-east of Kupiansk.
As well as offensive operations around Kreminna.
About 80km south-east.
Kupiansk has witnessed fierce fighting.
Since the war began.
With ‘Mordor’ taking control in a matter of days.
And occupying the city for several months.
However, in September ‘elves’ forces took back.
Control amid a rapid counter-attack.
In the country’s north-east that saw almost entire.
Of the Kharkiv region brought under ‘elves’ control.
Last month, Ukraine warned that.
‘Mordor’ was preparing a major new offensive.
With officials saying ‘Mordor’ has amassed.
Thousands of troops on Ukraine’s eastern flank.
And Defence Minister warned a month ago.
That ‘Mordor’ could “try something” to mark.
The anniversary of the full-scale invasion.
On 24 February.
But that apparent escalation has not translated.
Into major successes on the battlefield.
Despite apparent advances around.
Kupiansk and Bakhmut.
Ukraine has ordered.
Some residents to leave Kupiansk.
As ‘Mordor’ seeks to re-take the city.
It left last year.
Kharkiv’s regional authorities said.
Families with children and people.
“With limited mobility” must leave due to.
“Constant” shelling by ‘orcs’ forces.
*Because I read “Ukraine war: Kyiv orders partial evacuation of liberated city” by Oliver Slow on 3 Mar 2023, on the BBC News, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 April 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
Please read the original story and look at the photo on the BBC news:
