“This is the price.
We pay for freedom.”
“This is the price.
We pay for freedom.”
She is aware that.
A lot of anger is.
Directed at her company.
For cutting electricity so often.
For so long.
And for so many customers.
But, she says.
There’s no other option.
“We are at war.
The energy sector is.
One of the goals.
For the ‘orcs’ terrorists.”
“And it’s obvious why:
All our life.
All our civilization.
Is built on electricity.”
“You just have to destroy.
Your enemy’s power grid.
And they will have no economy.
And they will have no life.”
“All state-owned.
Thermal power plants are destroyed.
All hydropower plants in our country.
Are damaged by ‘orcs’ missiles or drones.”
“This is the price.
We pay for freedom.”
“This is the price.
We pay for freedom.”
*Because I read “’We’ve learnt to do surgery without electricity’: Ukraine’s power cuts worsen” by Vitaly Shevchenko on 6 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 Ukrenergo spokeswoman Maria Tsaturian.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
