“The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks
Stand in their way.

Off the enemies.”

To form for.
‘Elves’ tanks...”

"In the treatment room.
Of a cramped makeshift field unit.
— the first point of treatment.
For injured soldiers.
“This is the most dangerous.
Of all front lines.”
Says the head of a medical unit for.
The ‘elves’ army's 25th Brigade.
“The ‘orcs’ Federation.
Is pushing very hard.
We have not been able.
To stabilise the front.”"(Kurama)
"An ‘elves’ drone team.
From the Nemesis group.
Scored one of the more.
Impressive kills.
Of ‘orcs’ 31-month.
Wider war on Ukraine.
Last week.
When it spotted.
A fast-moving ‘orcs’.
Turtle tank and.
Carefully leading.
The speeding vehicle..."

Ivan Franko. «Semper Idem!» (translated from Ukrainian into English by Alyssa Dinega Gillespie)
"Swim against the current,
Shove against the lance,
Bear the cross’s burden
Boldly unto death!
Truth will battle power!
Evil will be cowed!
’Midst a people bound to
Freedom of the word!"(Ivan Franko)
"Вони зупинились біля лісу. Поки водій заправляв автобус, Устя споглядала навколишній простір через вікно, зненацька за якусь мить вискочила надвір. І все через дерева, які потрапили в її поле зору. Покручені, з наростами на тілі. До них годі було доступитись, а їй кортіло їх обійняти, і таки зробила це, тільки подумки. Стоячи неподалік від буса, чуйно придивлялась до кожного гінкого дерева, напружено вслухалась у приємний шепіт розгойданого вітерцем листя, і так перейнялась, що мало не виповіла вголос думку, що мигцем пронеслась у голові. І чому вона раніше не зауважувала, що будь-який ґандж — це повідомлення, прохання про допомогу, попередження, застереження?! Що це, як не виразний крик: ''Зверніть на мене увагу''?! Подумала: ''Кожен організм шукає розв'язання, коли виникло питання, — усміхнулась створеній мимовільно римі, — Ми, люди, такі''. Устя намагалась роздивитись і запам'ятати кожне дерево, яке вабило її до себе. І чим довше вона придивлялась, тим переконливішим для неї ставав її власний висновок, що відхилення від загальноприйнятої норми тягнуть на себе увагу. ''Нарости — це сигнал SOS для дерев'', — продовжувала розмірковувати Устя. Їй здавалось, що вона відчуває те саме, що дерева, коли заглиблюються в простір і всередину себе. Устя вдихала повітря на повні груди, а тоді на трохи завмирала..." (Галина Мирослава)
““During the First World War.
Aviation was born.”
Says the drone commander.

Will turn the tide.
Of any war.”...”(Kurama)
“I don't have a desire.
For revenge, but I do.
Have a very strong desire to.
Participate in opposition activities.”
What did he want most of all?
...
He simply replies:
“To hug Mum of course.”(Kurama)

She joked.
She then wished you.

Watching me.
My heart was pounding.”

As he crouches down.
In some bushes...”(Kurama)

Left her village.

“After months of heavy fighting.
‘Orcs’ forces appear.

“He has the sort of chuckle.

Someone else's magic trick...”(Kurama)
"You heard the screams.
From far away.
They came floating.
Across the rows of the dead.
Across the rows of the dead.
Over other graves.
Still waiting.
To be filled...“(Kurama)
