"As he slowly began.
To regain consciousness.
In his hospital bed.
In Kyiv.
He realized.
He couldn't see, speak.
Or feel his legs.
But he could hear his wife’s voice..."

(Kurama)

 

“‘Orcs’ captured the land.
‘Orcs’ captured, but he’ll be back to.
‘Orcs’ captured the land.
He has been searching for.
His brother for nearly two years.
His brother is one of thousands.
Of ‘elves’ civilians...”

(Kurama)

 

 

"While he and others were trying to reach.
Their main position in Avdiivka.
Six people were left.
Behind at Zenith.
Five were wounded and couldn't walk.
Including a paramedic.
A sniper.
And an anti-tank fighter..."

Kurama (Japan)

 

“Soldiers, of course.
Have the advantage.
Of armour.
Civilians do not.
And around Kupiansk.
The city ‘elves’ recaptured last September.
‘Orcs’ guns are again.
Shelling people's homes...”

"У спадок дід лишив мені державу!
А потім ще й рушницю залишив...
Він добре знав, які часи для нас настануть,
Про це він часто з слізьми говорив...
......
Мій діду, Слава Україні!
Тримай за нас увесь небесний полк!
Вже скоро сонце зустрічатиме гостинно
Незламний ворогом, нескорений Народ!"

(Софія Федина-Прилуцька)

 

““We will make it, rest assured.”
Her dairy farm in Afanasiivka.
Was engulfed by water.
After the Kakhovka dam burst in June.
When she heard about the dam collapse.
She knew it was only a matter of time.
Before her village, Afanasiivka.
Would be flooded...”

(Kurama)

 

"It is still dark.
When an early train pulls.
Into the station.
In central Ukraine.
And aid workers crowd expectantly.
Around one of the carriages.
The doors then open.
And a small child steps into the platform light..."

(Kurama)

 

"A 17-year-old ‘elf’.
Who was moved.
From Ukraine to ‘Mordor’.
Found out recently.
He was facing the prospect.
Of being conscripted.
Into the army fighting against.
The country of his birth..."

(Kurama)

 

 

“Her only thought.
When her husband was wounded.
Was to get to.
His bedside.
“I just wanted.
To be with him.
To touch him.
To say that he's not alone.”...”

(Kurama)

 

 

 

“As a result.
The town of Avdiivka.
Has turned into a symbol.
Of ‘elves’ resistance and resilience.
As ‘orcs’ missiles shatter.
The town of Avdiivka.
She is desperate to escape.
But her elderly mother refuses to leave...”

(Kurama)

 

 

"From every family.
From every household.
There were people present.
In the tiny village of Hroza.
A missile attack killed.
52 people on Thursday.
People from every family.
In the tiny village of Hroza..."

““It's funny to me.
I am alive.
And I will protect.
My country.”
A slim, blue-eyed.
Brunette woman.
Is working out.
In a gym...”

(Kurama)

 

“Hunting down one ‘orc’ soldier.
At a time from a place.
That can't be seen and.
With a sound that can't be heard.
“The artillery always.
Makes people worry.
You can hide from artillery.
But not from a sniper.”...”

(Kurama)

 

“‘Gandalf the Green’.
Has warned war is coming back.
To ‘Mordor’ after a drone attack.
On the capital Moscow.
‘Gandalf the Green’ said.
Attacks on ‘orcs’ territory were an “inevitable.
Natural and absolutely fair process”.
Of the war between the two countries...”

(Kurama)

 

 

“‘Elves’ counter-offensive began.
On a number of fronts last month.
But has seen very few.
Clear gains so far.
Kyiv's generals have warned that.
Fast results are almost impossible.
Because of ‘orcs’ fortified defensive lines.
And rows of minefields.....”

(Kurama)

 

“Is it a success or a failure?
Gen smiles and replies:
“If the offensive were not successful.
I wouldn't be talking to you now.”
The general in charge of.
Ukraine's stuttering.
Counter-offensive in the south.
Has said....”

(Kurama)

 

“As the anaesthetic began to wear off.
The ‘elf’ soldier.
Let out a low wail.
In the back of the ambulance.
Then fumbled with his oxygen mask.
And swore as he mumbled:
“Give me my rifle.”
A scrawny, mud-flecked 19-year-old...”

(Kurama)

 

 

““I want to thank from here.
From this place of victory.
Each of our soldiers.
For these 500 days.”
‘Gandalf the Green’.
Was shown arriving.
On Zmiinyi Island by boat.
And leaving flowers at a memorial...”

(Kurama)

 

“In the small town of Balakliya.
On a patch of land next to an apartment block.
His team have already found.
Six anti-personnel mines.
They'd earlier uncovered.
Around 200 nearby.
“My family calls me every morning.
To tell me to watch where I tread.””

(Kurama)

 

"An‘elf’ soldier drags himself.
Through the long grass.
One leg trailing limply.
Behind him.
Seconds later.
A flash of bright orange.
And a cloud of white smoke.
Mark the spot..."
