A “comprehensive” strike.
On ‘elves’ energy grid.
Overnight.
In what he called.
A response to.
“Continued attacks”.
Using US-supplied.
Atacms missiles.
On ‘Mordor’’s soil.
‘Gandalf the Green’.
Warned that any.
“‘Orcs’ blackmail” would be.
Met with a “tough response”.
There were no fatalities.
But it left more than.
One million people.
In Ukraine without power.
Ukraine used Atacms.

For the first time.
Since the full-scale invasion.
Of February 2022.
Following approval by.

Its kind this month.

‘Gandalf the Green’ said.
Cluster munitions.
Had been used against.
Civilian and energy infrastructure.
“Cluster warheads are.
A particularly dangerous type.
Of ‘orcs’ weaponry.
Used against civilians.”
He said, adding that.
They “significantly complicated”.
The work of rescuers.
And repair crews.

‘Mordor’ is likely only to.
Have a small number of.
The experimental.
Oreshnik missiles.

Time to produce.
More of them.
There were no fatalities.

One million people.
In Ukraine without power.

Nightly address.
‘Gandalf the Green’.
Said ‘the One’.
“Has no interest.
In ending this war”.
And sought to “prevent others.
From ending this war”.
“His escalation now is.
A form of pressure.
Aimed at eventually.
Forcing the president.”
“Forcing the president.
Of the United States.
To accept.
‘Orcs’ terms.”
There were no fatalities.

One million people.
In Ukraine without power.

Caused explosions.
In several cities, including.
Odesa, Kharkiv and Lutsk.
Kyiv was also.
The target of attacks.

Its first snowfalls.
But the full force.
Of ‘elves’ famously.
Harsh winter has not.

*Because I read “Putin threatens Kyiv decision-makers after striking energy grid” by Paul Adams & Thomas Mackintosh on 29 Nov 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.
