“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
He has also left Vovchansk.
He was shocked.
By how close.
The fighting was.
“On the one side of.
The Vovcha River are ‘orcs’.
On the other.
Ours.” he said.
“Tanks are constantly approaching.
Shooting back.
And then leaving.
I thought it would be okay.”
“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
Vovchansk, located.
74km from Kharkiv.
Has been heavily bombed.
In recent days.
‘Mordor’ was deliberately trying.
To stretch the front line.
By attacking in small groups.
In new directions.
‘Elves’ forces were holding.
‘Orcs’ troops back but.
Fighting could spread.
To new settlements.
“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
“I was shocked.
I wish I had known in advance.”
*Because I read “Russia says troops enter border town near Kharkiv” by Jonathan Beale & Doug Faulkner on 13 May 2024, 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 Kostyantyn.
