Ukraine Situation Report: Russian Invasion Day: 236



Overview:

A
Since February 24 where Russia invaded Ukraine
by air, land and by the Black Sea
the army of Ukraine still fights to be free
where most of the country Ukraine does retain,

though annexed, fighting Ukraine in those oblasts remain,
while from those arias the Russians flee,
are without supplies and munitions in jeopardy,
where in counter-offences Ukraine do gain

its own territory from the Russians back,
sanctions were triggered by the invasion,
more than sixty thousand Russians are dead,
the will to win, morals and values Russians lack:
they kill, torture and rape on many a occasion;
untrained two hundred thousand do to demise head.

B
Putin has bombed in acts of a terrorist state
civilians in city centres, apartments and a park,
savagely wile loosing do in atrocities embark,
in revenge did hit power-stations of late,

and this cause Ukrainians Russians more to hate:
Russians seem to be evil and from the dark,
different values, acts and outlooks do leave a mark
and in acts of terror the Russians elate,

to try and force a cease-fire, to take by force
Ukrainian territories that do not to Russia belong;
neo-Nazi, terrorist and invalid it does Ukraine name
and the world do not the annexation endorses:
where Russians are, the resistance is strong,
while Russia do itself to such policies aim.

C
In Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzia and Kherson
that have been annexed, Ukraine do advance,
with heavy artillery do Blitzkrieg operations enhance,
day by day Russia looses and the war rages on,

it seems that for winning all Russian hope is gone,
to withdraw Putin spoils chance after chance,
at that option with his whim and will looks askance,
while against innocents he does evil spawn,

as canon-fodder do many more countrymen bring,
do use the ill-equipped and untrained
indoctrinated Russians for his own schemes,
while Russia is a shambles with in-fighting,
in great poverty people live un-sustained
and Russia only like a Super-Power seems.

l'Envoi
Specifics:

1
With thunder-on blitzkrieg movements,
in Luhansk from Troitske Ukraine out-flanks
the Russian reinforcements and frontline improvements,
while there are decent in the Russian ranks.

In Tacyne more Ukrainians pierce Russian defences,
from the Oskil River eastward to surround
as a pincher-movement commences,
and great speed and affect this attack has found,

to cut the Russians off in Kreminna City,
to where from Lyman some have fled away
and to Severedonetsk which they destroyed without pity,
Ukraine is catching speed them to slay.

To Lysychansk another advance catches speed
as Ukraine do against higher ground heed.

2
The Russians might run even back further southward
towards their own offensive lines,
to try this counter-offensive to thwart,
to the arias where they do suppress and undermine:

at Bahkmut with Rosgvardia, Chechens and Wagner
that is driving from Popasna for politics.
North on the N26 to Svatova Ukraine does deter:
huge damage on the reservists inflicts

where it's ten days before they are captured or dead
and thousands surrender while many more die,
as forward Ukraine through defences sped
while drones do on exact emplacements spy.

Novodyany and Kovalivka was just liberated,
while in anticipation the citizens waited.

3
With drones the Ukraine gets a weak place,
with blitzkrieg manoeuvres they burst through,
at konstanivka Russians do thunder-run attacks face
and to stop this offence nothing Russia can do,

while from behind the Russians they do attack,
get the Russians confused by mini blitzkrieg moves,
at multiple locations they drive Russians back
and very effective this against Russia proofs.

The drones have got 4K video capability
where soldiers in trenches can be seen,
it shows to the greatest detail clearly,
and also any small gaps that is in between,

while at Kupiansk the Ukraine is chipping away,
as nothing the ferocity of the attacks waylays.

4
At Pitney and Zaitseve at Bahkmut Russia has success
where from the south they do attack,
as fewer Ukrainians do these attacks address
where paid Russian mercenaries do not incentives lack,

while the heaviest attack is from the east still,
where into a meat grinder as canon-fodder Russians go,
to do as Putin and their commanders will,
as if Russia does nothing but full frontal attacks know.

Around Toretsk and Bahkmut strong defences remain
while all around is farmland and open fields,
and in winter in soft mud Russia will not gain,
as best they can the defenders do cities shield,

where still the river is holding the Russians back,
as head-on some still do try to attack.

5
During the last two weeks in the Kherson Oblast
at Davydiv Brid and other places Ukraine did gain:
with broken Russian radio-links they did attack fast,
while Russians could not order appertain.

From the city of Kherson Russia is evacuating
while traitors into Russia do escape and flee,
instead of a eventual defeat for to be waiting;
other people yearn to be from Russian atrocities free.

Russia names retreats: recreational humanitarian trips
and I wonder to which cities in Russia visitors go,
as they leave behind the weapons that Russia equips,
as a supplier many weapons to the Ukraine bestow:

all over in Ukraine Russia is loosing mostly,
and Putin wants a cease-fire instead of a victory.
