The Flowers of the Forest,
that fought aye the foremost,
The Flowers of the Forest
are a’ wede away.
In social media posts.
On 11-12 March.
He likened the retreat.
From the front to.
“A scene from.
A horror movie”.
“The roads are littered.
With hundreds of.”
“With hundreds of.
Destroyed cars.
Armoured vehicles.
And All Terrain Vehicles.”
“There are a lot of.
Wounded and dead.”
Vehicles were often.
Hunted by multiple drones.
The Flowers of the Forest,
that fought aye the foremost,
The prime of our land,
are cauld in the clay.
He described.
His own narrow escape.
When the car he was travelling.
In got bogged down.
He and his fellow soldiers.
Were trying to push.
The vehicle free.
When they were targeted.
By another FPV drone.
It missed the vehicle.
But injured.
One of his comrades.
He said they had to.
Hide in a forest.
For two hours.
Before they were rescued.
The Flowers of the Forest,
that fought aye the foremost,
The prime of our land,
are cauld in the clay.
He said many ‘elves’.
Retreated on foot.
With “guys walking.
15km to 20km”.
The situation.
He said, had turned from.
“Difficult and critical.
To catastrophic”.
The Flowers of the Forest,
that fought aye the foremost,
The prime of our land,
are cauld in the clay.
In a message.
On 14 March.
He added:
“Everything is finished.”
“Everything is finished.
In the Kursk region.
… the operation was.
Not successful.”
He estimated that.
Thousands of.
‘Elves’ soldiers.
Had died.
Since the first crossing.
Since the first crossing.
Into ‘Mordor’.
In August.
The Flowers of the Forest,
that fought aye the foremost,
The Flowers of the Forest
are a’ wede away.
*Because I read “’Everything is finished’: Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk” by Jonathan Beale & Anastasiia Levchenko on 17 Mar 2025, 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 Dmytro, led by ‘The Flowers of the Forest’ by Jean Eliot, you know.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
