*Because I read “Ukraine War: Civilians abducted as Russia tries to assert control” by Matt Murphy & Robert Greenall on 25 Mar 2022, 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 Svetlana Zalizetskaya, a story of Sergiy Tomilenko, and a story of Mykhailo Kumko.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
