The 13 soldiers believed to have been killed. Defending Zmiinyi Island. On the first day of the ‘orcs’ invasion. Are alive.   The border guards were given posthumous honours.

How to be a good partisan. “Be grumpy,” is one suggestion. A faceless, hooded figure alongside a warning: “Kherson: The partisans see everything.”     At the mouth of the Dnipro River. On the Black Sea coast. Kherson found itself occupied. With barely a shot being fired.   Kherson became the first major ‘elves’ city. […]

As many as 700,000 men. May have left ‘Mordor’. Since ‘the One’ announced a mobilisation. Of at least 300,000 extra troops. On 21 September.   While most men have fled over land.

An Israeli citizen was among them. From Melitopol.   She was visiting her hometown. When the ‘orcs’ invasion started in February. She stayed in the […]

Many ‘elves’ who remain. Behind the ‘orcs’ front line. In the occupied territories. Are anxiously waiting for this counter-offensive.   “We’re euphoric. When Ukraine hits the occupied territories.” A resident of Melitopol in the south says. “It means that Ukraine has not forgotten us.”   “We all know that living near. Military infrastructure and buildings […]

The attack comes as ‘the One’ is preparing for. A signing ceremony in ‘Mordor’ to annex Zaporizhzhia. Along with Ukraine’s Donetsk. Luhansk and Kherson regions.   At least 30 people have been killed. And almost 100 more injured. In an ‘orcs’ rocket strike. On a civilian convoy.   A huge crater next to a row […]
