Things To Look Out For With The Coming Attack On Kherson City Poem by Gert Strydom

Things To Look Out For With The Coming Attack On Kherson City

Rating: 4.0


Background:
A
Putin's chef, Prigozhin, admits to meddling
in US elections to make America very weak,
while Russia do still control over the world seek
and this is more than just a horrific criminal thing,

in Ukraine Russian soldiers are barely surviving,
while with appeasement democrats have a maniac streak,
while Russia do its havoc on innocents wreak
which to me is very much unsettling,

while 76460 Russians are already dead,
2771 tanks and 5630 APV's have been shot out,
277 fighters and 260 helicopters went down,
two hundred thousand do to the same destiny head,
while Putin do not choose to turn about,
the marks of his reckoning are in every city and town.

B
Patrushef the man that is in Russia second in command
with other members of the security council to Putin went
the stripping of power of Prigozhin to demand,
and to this request Putin did not want to assent

as he views Prigozhin as the only one helping in the war,
while where it rages, too many Russians are already dead,
with Kadyrov and Prigozhin in cahoots with Igor Girkin Putin could not ignore
what Patrushef and other senior people to him said

where now Putin has agreed to a scheme to Prigozhin grant
the ability to form a new opposition party of his own,
where Prigozhin, a mafia-boss do him greatly enchant,
and by far their friendship is through Russia known,

but filled with FSB operators to keep him in a way in check
to by force if necessary have a kind of control,
to force Prigozhin to do as Putin do bid and beck
where to Puntin Prigozhin does play an important role,

where Russian politics seems to me very dismal
at the edge of doom and utterly abysmal.

C
Russia wants only a cease-fire and no lasting peace,
they want to take what they illegally got,
that thousands die do not to Putin matter a lot,
they do not with battering Ukrainians to cease,

do battered and tortured prisoners release,
have raped; pillaged robbed and innocents shot,
while to take what is not his Putin does plot,
where Russian prisoners of war are at their ease,

now Ukraine in war has the upper hand
with thunder-run Blitzkrieg manoeuvres excel
and Putin knows this war he cannot maintain,
they do against Russia together as a nation stand,
wants Russians back to their homeland to expel
does daily their land back from the Russians gain.

D
Putin is unable to hold on further to Kherson
where Ukraine has used stalling tactics to burn through
Russian fuel and munitions as this Russian war rages on,
Russia looses in Ukraine as Blitzkrieg manoeuvres accrue,

While bombing the bridges did cut provisions off,
where artillery strikes brought massive loss
with the world that at Russia's army do scoff,
while no more weapons can the Dnieper River cross

while Ukraine did attack in a way to preserve
its soldiers, weapons and munitions it has,
brought down the destruction that Russians deserve
and it's as if Putin has lost his magnetic pizzazz.

Ukraine has been careful not to run into a trap
that could with thousands on them close snap,

E
while news services and Russia states evacuation,
that Russia is en mass leaving out of Kherson,
that from that Oblast all Russian forces are gone
while to this more Russian military is an aberration

that Russia does not want to win is from facts and abnegation
while horrid this war with great impact rages on,
soldiers dressed as civilians do this foregone,
where this is but a Trojan Horse in Russian adaptation,

where Russia do now specialize in every war atrocity
as it is set to Ukrainian civilians to kill,
where Russia took Kherson with traitors peacefully,
does now blood in this oblast's invasion spill,
it's evident that the people do not want Russian to be,
while Russian bodies do far too many coffins fill.

F
Russia is now set to Kherson totally to destroy
but in contrast to this with every opportunity
Russia for peace negotiations did set its own ploy
where for a cease-fire it do not negotiate directly,

where Putin wants it to seem that he did win,
that Russia gets something for all the loss of life,
while his notions and whims are to great evil akin
and the Ukrainians do only struggle to survive

and he has offered from Kherson withdrawing
for peace talks while it seemed Blinken in appeasement
was pressurizing Ukraine for such a thing,
from Ukrainian rhetoric wanted an easement,

while the US with Lavarov and others did negotiate;
that Ukraine is responsible for peace it did now state,

G
where a decision for the end of war is up to Ukraine,
while Russia let it seems that Kherson they are leaving,
where by any means and deception they want to gain,
do want great destruction to Ukrainian military to bring:

the propagandists about Kherson did turn around,
while Stemousov by the Kremlin had been killed,
he was deputy head in Kherson and dead in a car crash found,
where this is more Russian blood Russia spilled

as it is set on convincing that it is withdrawing,
while before his death not to quote him was ordered,
while out of defeat Russia tries to be clawing,
trying it to seem that leaving Kherson is disordered

while Russia has not abandoned Kherson with its military:
they aim at destruction for many Ukrainians dead to be.

H
Russia has just one hundred and twenty Iskandr missiles left,
with Lagarov failing with Iran negotiations
for missiles to through Ukrainians electrical systems to cleft,
while Iran is under the world's accusations:

for being Putin's lapdog and supplying weapons of war
Patrushef was sent to offer any kind of thing,
where like Russians nothing vile that regime do deplore,
to Iran with Russian help to nuclear arms to bring,

where Iran's missiles has a thousand mile range
and a thousand are ready to directly to Russia to go,
where a terrorist state with the bomb will rearrange,
the world as we do it now in its power structures know


How the situation in Kherson in reality is

1
In the Southern Axis in the Oblast of Kherson,
there were no territorial changes that did occur
as Russians away and others into a trap go on,
as plans to regain Kherson do concur.

In Ukraine a total media blackout is in force
over the fighting in this region for security,
as Ukrainians are from Russians set free,
Russia do the withdrawal of officials endorse,

brings in ten thousand more troops to reinforce,
where it lies that its troops are going out of Kherson to be,
with pillboxes to destroy take each opportunity,

and how this is going to play out time will tell,
while that Putin does tell lies the world now knows well.

2
The Ukrainian forces are getting ready to attack,
to onto the Russians be able to move in,
the Russian occupation do my attention attract
where Putin thinks that they are going to win:

The Antonivsky Bridge Russia has check-points,
barracks and to the west of it some bases,
with units set where it suspects flash points,
are openly posting everything as if idiots it faces.

A command post can clearly be seen,
a warehouse where some supplies should be,
places to which their vehicles have been,
by very distinct and great satellite imagery,

while conscripts will defend with no care for anything,
they do not worry if this do destruction to buildings bring.

3
Equipment repairs, an armoured unit's base,
a FSB intelligence base, some air defence units,
about everything Ukraine has to face,
are distinguishable in their pieces and bits,

entrenched armoured vehicles along the E58 highway,
that runs from Mikolaiv into Kherson City,
in Koslievka, where there should also mines be,
Dragon-teeth obstacles to keep Ukrainians away,

a clear master-plan, on open view Ukrainians to slay.
Ukrainians I do within twenty kilometres see,
which is going to be for Russia a calamity,
even with entrenched vehicles along the way.

A defensive military base is this Oblast capital,
where Russians will many coffins fill,

4
while at Kaliningrad Poland is putting up razor-wire
to against Russia bolster its border defence,
that they prepare for Russian invasion is no pretence,
where under Russian occupation the situation is dire.

Poland does Ukraine steadfastness admire,
where it's grim work to put up this fence,
and the impact of the Russian war is immense
but at ease no one can after this retire

while every little bit helps to keep Russians out,
although nothing brings any peace of mind
that the despot Putin in Russia will not attack,
as Russia for years has said what it is about,
that its intentions are grim and not kind
and it's hard to drive Russians to their country back.

I feel sorry for the poor Russian conscripts, little training and ancient unserviceable weapons. What's needed is for all Russian soldiers to revolt as one. That would end the war and collapse the Kremlin.
