Ukraine Situation Report: Russian Invasion Day: 184 Poem by Gert Strydom

To Tavriske the Russians are near
while they try to get to Mykolaiv City,
more Russians want at Blahodatne to be,
but do attacks on supply-lines at Kharkiv fear,

where they are fighting with Soviet era gear.
At Bakhmut in Lumumba Street Russia has jeopardy,
while they cannot get defensive positions free.
At Soledar HIMARS artillery strike at their rear.

The Russians moved a kilometre in three days,
while in Luhansk and Popasna to hell
their command-posts had been shot,
where Russian ammo and command centralised stays
and over the phone they do of defeat tell,
about the hardship that they have got.

In Kiev Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited,
as well did Abdrzej Duda, the Polish President,
to further help Ukraine both countries recommitted,
while both did with president Zelensky time spent.

Russians fired missiles at Chaplyne railway station,
killed more civilians on the Independence Day,
as a token of their intent on that occasion,
where they do terrorize and civilians slay.

Part of Pisky and Marinka is in Russian control,
where the Russian Wagner fatalities are high,
as at Avdiivka where Ukrainians play their role
and Russian support aircraft do strafing fly,

where the Ukraine do for freedom fight,
during the day and through the night.

Russian volunteer battalions are not at strength,
in the new drive for mobilization,
Russia tries to prolong the contract length
do exclude the ethnic Russian nation.

Altai-Krai has provided five volunteer units,
each consists of ninety people like a rifle-company,
which are as battalion tactical groups unfit,
barely trained, no veterans do them accompany,

these units are modelled after proxy rebels:
like the Vostok of the Russian DNR
the lives of people are worthless like pebbles
as the Somalia battalion of the LNR,

where Russia uses its troops as canon-fodder,
where enormous fatalities do them not bother.

Partisans do challenge Russian authority
do traitors that with the Russians work kill,
want their country free from Russian occupation to be,
does also the blood of encountered Russians spill.

A rally by mothers and wives was dispersed by force
in the LNR where prisoners of war exchanges are low
and Russia does stringent measures endorse
in how it Russify and treats people violence show,

while children in occupied arias are abducted,
are 'deported for rehabilitation, '
are stripped of language and culture, are inducted
where Russia believes in indoctrination,

where it strips people of a own identity
and the Ukraine wants to be of this free.

The Zaporizhzia power plant is disconnected
from further supplying the Ukraine,
Russians try by any means victory to gain
the Russian forces deem they are by it protected,

and so far no radiation is being detected,
from using it as a nuclear weapon Russia will not abstain,
where their forces do on the facility remain,
while a deadly powerless winter is projected.

Without supplying energy the plant is at risk,
where it's dangerous to keep it in an idle state
and from wicked ways Russia does not keep,
and if they cause a malfunction the radiation will be brisk,

while Russians are with loosing irate
where the Russian casualties are steep.

[Poet's notes: Under the guise of education camps and psychological rehabilitation they do facilitate indoctrination confirmed Leonid Pasechnik, from the LNR, as part of a re-population campaign of the children. To me they act as the Nazis did, where they Russify the children.

In the Zaphorizhzia oblast the Russian appointed administrator, the major of Mykhaylivka,
Ivan Sushko, a traitor to the Ukraine, was killed by a partisan car-bomb on the 24th of August 2022.)

The DNR is the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
The LNR is the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic.
These two arias after being taken from the Ukraine have been proclaimed by Russia as independent Republics.]
