A POET IN AFANASIIVKA
“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.
In the end it took two days.
For the water to reach her.
It arrived at around 17:00.
On 8 June.
“We packed quickly.
We took our livestock.
Cows, dogs, ducklings.
And our equipment:”
“Milking kits and a generator.
We had to leave all.
Our other possessions behind.
They were all lost.”
“We will make it, rest assured.”
Her dairy farm in Afanasiivka.
Was engulfed by water.
After the Kakhovka dam burst in June.
The 52-year-old farmer.
And her husband.
Had devoted their lives.
To their herd of two dozen cows.
Which they had raised.
From calves.
And did everything.
They could to save them.
It took just five more hours.
For the water to engulf their whole farm.
Their village of Afanasiivka is.
70km north of the dam.
The devastating floods destroyed.
Homes and farmland.
And left hundreds of thousands.
Without drinking water.
“We will make it, rest assured.”
Her dairy farm in Afanasiivka.
Was engulfed by water.
After the Kakhovka dam burst in June.
Four months on, there are signs.
Of damage everywhere.
She shows you water marks.
Inside a barn, close to the ceiling.
And she explains that most of the hay.
She and her husband had prepared to.
Feed their cows over the winter.
Was destroyed.
So was their other animal feed.
“The water rose by six metres.
But at least.
The farm building survived.”
“Only the floor.
Got washed away.
But the walls.
Are still standing.”
“We will make it, rest assured.”
Her dairy farm in Afanasiivka.
Was engulfed by water.
After the Kakhovka dam burst in June.
On top of this.
Her village is near the front line.
And like many of the flood-hit areas.
Is contaminated with ammunition.
She shows you a rocket.
Stuck in the ground.
In one of her hay meadows.
“My husband has to mow around it.”
The ‘elves’ government is offering.
Her compensation for the flood damage.
Although she says it is nowhere.
Near enough to repair everything.
Somehow, she's not disheartened.
“Maybe we will take out another loan.
We will mow some hay for the cows.
Or buy some more.”
“We will make it, rest assured.”

A POET IN PAVLO-MARIANIVKA
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
He shows you round the ruins of his home.
In the village of Pavlo-Marianivka.
“Here we had a fireplace.
Where our family gathered.”
The 52-year-old says.
Pointing to a pile of bricks.
And chimney debris.
“It was such a happy time.”
He trails off.
Remembering the old days.
He is having to rebuild.
His entire farm after flood-water hit.
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
The Kakhovka dam held back.
A vast reservoir that supplied water.
To irrigate farms as well as.
Provided drinking water.
The water reached the roof of his house.
And destroyed his crops.
Before the flood he grew.
Wheat, barley and sunflowers.
And this isn't the first time.
He has had to start again.
His village was under ‘orcs’ occupation.
For much of 2022.
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Last autumn we had 250 hectares.
Of grain, ready to harvest.
‘Orcs’ burnt it all.
That was the first blow.”
“Then spring 2023 came.
We gave it our all.
And sowed.
However hard it was.”
“Then the water came.
We were knocked down once again.”
With help from volunteers.
He is building a new house.
Ploughing his fields to prepare.
For the season ahead.
And plans to lay a new water supply.
To help his community.
“Everything will work out.
Life is wonderful.
You can give in.
Or become stronger.”
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
Two days after you left.
His village of Pavlo-Marianivka.
He received some.
Devastating news.
His 20-year-old son.
Was killed by an explosive.
By the side of a road.
Not far from his home.
He believes.
It was an ‘orc’ munition.
Although there is no way to confirm.
This at the moment.
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
Despite everything.
That has happened.
He is determined to rebuild.
His life and his farm.
He was too upset to talk straight.
After his son’s death but eventually.
He called you from his courtyard.
Sitting with his back against his tractor.
“My son was someone.
Who could do anything.”
And he vowed to.
Keep strong for his son.
“We have to be strong.
We have to live.
We will make it.
We are good people.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”
“Who deserve to live in.
A peaceful and flourishing Ukraine.”

"Коли закінчиться війна,Я хочу тата обійняти,
Сказати сонячні слова
І повести його до хати,
Ти – наш Герой! Тепер щодня
Я буду дякувати Богу
За мирне небо, за життя,
Всім, хто здобув нам ПЕРЕМОГУ!"
