WAKA is 'the music of the Primes'.

“There are a lot of criticisms.

Because we have lost.

A lot of our guys because of.

Soviet-type mindset and strategy.”

 

Says a former Security Service officer.

“We are limited with manpower.

We have no other options.

Than thinking of our people.”

 

 

In the area.

Around Kharkiv.

‘Orcs’ advances.

Have been stopped.

 

But in the east.

‘Orcs’ attritional approach.

Is making slow.

But steady advances.

 

 

“Unfortunately.

There are a lot of ‘orcs’.

And they are trying to conduct.

This rolling operation.”

 

“Centimetre by centimetre.

Inch by inch.

100m per day.

200m per day.”

 

 

In the area.

Around Kharkiv.

‘Orcs’ advances.

Have been stopped.

 

But in the east.

‘Orcs’ attritional approach.

Is making slow.

But steady advances.

 

 

“And unfortunately.

It’s successful for them.”

“We are driving.

Towards stalemate.”

 

He says, acknowledging that.

This may lead eventually to.

The “bitter pill” of.

Some form of negotiation.

 

 

*Because I read “Ukraine calls them meat assaults: Russia’s brutal plan to take ground” by Gordon Corera on 4 Jul 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, as a story of Ivan Stupak.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
