The ‘elves’ army’s.
53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Raised a flag atop.
A ruined grain elevator.
In the town of New York.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
On Friday or Saturday.
The banner signals.
The return of.
‘Elves’ forces to.
Central New York.
A month after.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Mostly captured.
The town.
It’s not an isolated incident.
‘Elves’ troops are counterattacking.
In several sectors.
Along the eastern front.
Blunting the momentum.
Of an ‘orcs’ offensive.
That kicked off.
Late last year.
And has seen ‘orcs’ forces.
Make gains along.
Several eastern axes.
—most notably.
Capturing Avdiivka.
And then marching.
On Pokrovsk and.
Its vital supply lines.
The ‘elves’ army’s.
53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Raised a flag atop.
A ruined grain elevator.
In the town of New York.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
On Friday or Saturday.
The banner signals.
The return of.
‘Elves’ forces to.
Central New York.
A month after.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Mostly captured.
The town.
New York lies.
13 miles north.
Of Avdiivka.
On a separate axis of.
‘Orcs’ 30-month.
Wider war on Ukraine.
The ‘orcs’ are still.
Advancing in some areas.
This weekend they captured.
Parts of Hrodivka.
Eight miles east.
Of Pokrovsk.
But the scattered.
‘Elves’ counterattacks.
Complicate ‘orcs’ planning.
—and offer the ‘elves’.
A glimmer of hope.
In the east.
In the ninth month of.
A long, hard year for them.
A shortage of.
‘Elves’ troops led.
To New York’s capture.
Last month.
The shortage was.
In part the result of.
The controversial decision.
By ‘elves’ top leaders.
To invade ‘Mordor’’s.
Kursk Oblast with.
A strong force drawn from.
Eight or so ‘elves’ brigades.
The ‘elves’ army’s.
53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Raised a flag atop.
A ruined grain elevator.
In the town of New York.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
On Friday or Saturday.
The banner signals.
The return of.
‘Elves’ forces to.
Central New York.
A month after.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Mostly captured.
The town.
Last year.
The national guard.
Expanded and strengthened.
Several of its brigades.
Lumping them together.
Into a so-called “offensive guard”.
That includes.
The 12th Azov Brigade.
As well as the Kara-Dag Brigade.
Which recently took up.
Positions south of Pokrovsk.
And promptly counterattacked.
The influx of.
National guard troops led to.
New York’s partial liberation.
This weekend.
Bolstered by.
The Azov troopers.
The army’s 53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Was able to go on.
The attack with.
Its T-72.
And T-64 tanks.
And BMP fighting vehicles.
The battle is far from over.
Combat engagements persisted.
In the northern and eastern.
Parts of New York.
North of New York and.
In the eastern part of Nelipivka.
which abuts New York.
To the north.
The ‘elves’ army’s.
53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Raised a flag atop.
A ruined grain elevator.
In the town of New York.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
On Friday or Saturday.
The banner signals.
The return of.
‘Elves’ forces to.
Central New York.
A month after.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Mostly captured.
The town.
At the same time.
The 53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Was fighting its way.
Into central New York.
‘Orcs’ forces were marching.
Into Pivnichne.
On the eastern edge of.
The city of Toretsk.
Two miles north.
Of New York.
Today the eastern front line.
Is a patchwork.
Today the eastern front line.
Is a patchwork.
Of ‘orcs’ attacks.
And ‘elves’ counterattacks.
—and a mix of.
Small losses and.
Small gains.
For Ukraine.
Still, that mixed news.
Is the best news.
‘Elves’ eastern forces.
Have gotten in months.
The ‘elves’ army’s.
53rd Mechanized Brigade.
Raised a flag atop.
A ruined grain elevator.
In the town of New York.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
On Friday or Saturday.
The banner signals.
The return of.
‘Elves’ forces to.
Central New York.
A month after.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Mostly captured.
The town.
*Because I read “Reinforced By The National Guard, the Ukrainian Army Is Counterattacking—And Just Liberated Part Of A Town Called New York” by David Axe on 7 Sep 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
