*Because I read “Ukrainians warn of being surrounded as Russia advances in east” by Abdujalil Abdurasulov on 14 Sep 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 Maj Serhiy Tsekhotsky, a story of Lt Col Oleh Demyanenko, a story of Nazar Voytenkov, and a story of Roman Pohorily.
