‘Elves’ counter-offensive began.
On a number of fronts last month.
But has seen very few.
Clear gains so far.
Kyiv’s generals have warned that.
Fast results are almost impossible.
Because of ‘orcs’ fortified defensive lines.
And rows of minefields.
The general in charge of operations.
In the south has said that.
“Any defence can be broken.
But you need patience, time and skilful action”.
Defence Minister has spoken of.
A “gradual advance” in ‘elves’ push.
Towards the two cities.
Of Melitopol and Berdyansk.
Any advance towards.
Either city would.
Mark a decisive step.
In the military campaign.
If ‘elves’ forces are able to.
Make further progress in Robotyne.
The next settlement to the south.
Is Tokmak, on the road to Melitopol.
One area where Ukraine has said.
It is advancing is south of Bakhmut.
The eastern city captured by ‘orcs’ forces.
After a long and ferocious battle.
Defence Minister said.
’Elves’ forces were gradually.
Moving forward and.
Fighting was taking place in three villages.
On the front line.
Directly south of the city.
“The fighting is pretty harsh.
Enemy fire is intense.”

*Because I read “Ukraine war: Kyiv claims success as southern fighting intensifies” by Paul Kirby on 28 July 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 Gen Oleksandr Tarnavskyi.
