POETS IN NOVODARIVKA

Novodarivka was recaptured.

On 4 June.

Writes the Zaporizhzhya.

Detached territorial defence brigade.

 

The brigade says.

“Multiple attempts” by the ‘orcs’ side.

To snatch back the settlement.

Since that day have been unsuccessful.

 

“The brigade’s units.

Continue to increase.

Their success!

Victory will be ours!”

 

 

Storozheve, in the west of the Donetsk region.

Is not far from the settlements.

Of Blahodatne, Neskuchne and Makarivka.

Whose recapture was announced over the weekend.

 

Troops have also said.

They regained Novodarivka.

In the neighbouring Zaporizhzhia region.

Earlier this month.

 

The sight of soldiers once again.

Hoisting ‘elves’ flags.

In liberated settlements is an exciting one.

For the country and its allies.

 

This counter-offensive is still.

In its early phase.

It’s reflected by the ‘elves’ attacking.

In multiple areas with modest gains.

 

They’re still costly as well.

In the southern Zaporizhzhia region in particular.

A lot of men and equipment have been lost.

As Kyiv tries to probe for a weakness.

 

Building heavy fortifications.

Also plays to an ‘orcs’ strength.

As they’ve had months to prepare.

Neither side has deployed their main forces yet.

 

 

Novodarivka was recaptured.

On 4 June.

Writes the Zaporizhzhya.

Detached territorial defence brigade.

 

The brigade says.

“Multiple attempts” by the ‘orcs’ side.

To snatch back the settlement.

Since that day have been unsuccessful.

 

“The brigade’s units.

Continue to increase.

Their success!

Victory will be ours!”

 

 

*Because I read the article like “Ukraine announces recapture of another village” in Live Reporting edited by James FitzGerald and Marita Moloney on 12 June 2023, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem including a story of the Zaporizhzhya detached territorial defence brigade in a Facebook post.
