All this time the Guard was looking at her,
first through a telescope,
then through a microscope,
and then through an opera-glass.
At last he said,
‘You’re travelling the wrong way,’
and shut up the window
and went away.
At least 12 people.
Have been killed.
And 20 injured.
Including two children.
In overnight.
In overnight.
‘Orcs’ missile and.
Drone strikes.
On ‘elves’ capital Kyiv.
And the wider region.
On ‘elves’ capital Kyiv.
And the wider region.
‘Tickets, please!’ said the Guard,
putting his head in at the window.
In a moment
everybody was holding out a ticket:
they were about the same size
as the people,
and quite seemed
to fill the carriage.
Six of the casualties.
Were railway workers of.
The state Ukrzaliznytsia company.
After a depot was hit in Kyiv.
‘Mordor’ said its.
“Massive strike using.
High-precision weapons”.
High-precision weapons”.
Targeted ‘elves’ military.
And energy facilities.
And added that.
And added that.
One person was also killed.
In ‘elves’ strikes.
On ‘Mordor’’s.
Western Belgorod region.
‘Now then! Show your ticket, child!’
the Guard went on,
looking angrily at Alice.
And a great many voices all said together
(‘like the chorus of a song,’ thought Alice),
‘Don’t keep him waiting, child!
Why, his time is worth
a thousand pounds a minute!’
This comes a day after.
‘The One’ was urged by.
‘The One’ was urged by.
The Indian Prime Minister.
A close ally.
To end the war.
To end the war.
“Every day spent in war.”
“Pushes humanity back.
And every step.
Taken towards peace.
Fills humanity with.”
“New hope and enthusiasm.”
The Indian Prime Minister said.
At a security summit.
In Kyrgyzstan.
‘I’m afraid I haven’t got one,’
Alice said in a frightened tone:
‘there wasn’t a ticket-office where I came from.’
And again the chorus of voices went on.
‘There wasn’t room
for one where she came from.
The land there is worth
a thousand pounds an inch!’
He, whose country’s economy.
Depends heavily on.
Discounted oil.
From ‘Mordor’.
Has made several similar.
Pleas to ‘the One’.
Has made several similar.
Pleas to ‘the One’.
Since he launched.
A full-scale invasion.
Of Ukraine.
In February 2022.
‘Don’t make excuses,’ said the Guard:
‘you should have bought one
from the engine-driver.’
And once more
the chorus of voices went on with
‘The man that drives the engine.
Why, the smoke alone is worth
a thousand pounds a puff!’
Overnight in Kyiv.
Eight people were killed.
And fires were reported.
In three city districts.
Another four people were killed.
In the nearby town.
Of Boryspil where.
A residential building was hit.
Alice thought to herself,
‘Then there’s no use in speaking.’
The voices didn’t join in this time,
as she hadn’t spoken,
but, to her great surprise,
they all thought in chorus
(I hope you understand
what thinking in chorus means
‘Gandalf the Green’ said.
On Tuesday morning that.
Nearly 350 rescue workers.
Had been working.
Through the night.
In Kyiv and.
The surrounding region.
After the latest strikes.
– for I must confess that I don’t),
‘Better say nothing at all.
Language is worth
a thousand pounds a word!’
‘I shall dream about
a thousand pounds tonight,
I know I shall!’
thought Alice.
In a post on social media.
He said ‘orcs’ had fired.
A “significant number of.
Jet drones and ballistic missiles”.
The strikes mark.
The sixth day of.
The strikes mark.
The sixth day of.
Sustained ‘orcs’ drone.
And missile attacks.
On Kyiv.
In what appears to be.
A strategy aimed at.
A strategy aimed at.
Exhausting ‘elves’ air defences.
And undermining civilian morale.
All this time the Guard was looking at her,
first through a telescope,
then through a microscope,
and then through an opera-glass.
At last he said,
‘You’re travelling the wrong way,’
and shut up the window
and went away.
‘Mordor’’s military warned.
Over the weekend.
That its forces were preparing.
To carry out.
“Massive” strikes.
On ‘elves’ energy facilities.
“Massive” strikes.
On ‘elves’ energy facilities.
‘So young a child,’
said the gentleman
sitting opposite to her
(he was dressed in white paper),
‘ought to know
which way she’s going,
even if she doesn’t know
her own name!’
Eight other ‘elves’ regions.
Were attacked.
‘Gandalf the Green’ said.
Adding that.
An Indian national was.
Among the casualties.
The ‘elf’ Interior Minister.
Later said.
The Indian man.
– who turned 26.
On Tuesday –
Was killed in Boryspil.
A Goat, that was sitting
next to the gentleman in white,
shut his eyes and
said in a loud voice,
‘She ought to know
her way to the ticket-office,
even if she doesn’t know
her alphabet!’
The overnight attacks.
Come after.
38 people were killed.
In ‘orcs’ strikes.
On a weapons depot.
On a weapons depot.
In the Kyiv region.
On Friday.
Causing shells.
Mines and drones.
To detonate.
To detonate.
There was a Beetle
sitting next the Goat
(it was a very queer carriage-full
of passengers altogether),
and, as the rule seemed to be that
they should all speak in turn,
he went on with ‘She’ll have to
go back from here as luggage!’
Separately.
A drone attack hit.
A major ‘orcs’ Baltic Sea port.
In Ust-Luga.
A drone attack hit.
A major ‘orcs’ Baltic Sea port.
In Ust-Luga.
Triggering a fire.
Alice couldn’t see
who was sitting beyond the Beetle,
but a hoarse voice
spoke next.
‘Change engines –’ it said,
and there it choked
and was obliged
to leave off.
Ukraine says.
Targets like Ust-Luga.
Targets like Ust-Luga.
– which handles millions of tons.
Of petroleum products each year –
Are legitimate.
As they help finance.
‘Orcs’ war effort.

*Because I read “Russian attack hits rail workers in new deadly strikes on Kyiv” by Jaroslav Lukiv on 1 Sep 2026, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, led by ‘THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS’ written by Lewis Carroll, you know.
