A POET ON SOBORNA STREET


A volunteer who evacuates civilians.

Showed you a message.

From a resident.

A few days ago.


“The basement where people were.

Staying on Soborna Street.

Has been hit,” it says.

“A lot of people have died.”


The volunteer was unable.

To get there because.

The street is now.

The new front line.

 

And as its buildings have been.

Reduced to rubble.

Avdiivka has become a graveyard.

As well as a ghost town.


The dead are left.

Under the rubble.

As there are neither emergency services.

Nor equipment to clear the wreckage.

 

Residents who have fled.

And volunteers who.

Try to evacuate others.

From Avdiivka told you.


That ‘orcs’ troops had recently.

Seized several streets.

In the southern part.

Of the town of Avdiivka.


One volunteer claimed.

They were first seen.

In the outskirts.

On 19 January.


“Some people managed.

To get out from those areas.

But it was two days ago.

Now, no-one is coming out.”


“We are only getting information.

That there are bodies.

On the streets but.

It's too dangerous to go there.”

 

And as its buildings have been.

Reduced to rubble.

Avdiivka has become a graveyard.

As well as a ghost town.


The dead are left.

Under the rubble.

As there are neither emergency services.

Nor equipment to clear the wreckage.

 

Avdiivka had a pre-war population.

Of more than 30,000.

Last summer it was closer.

To 1,650.


Now, there are just over.

1,000 remaining.

Many have fled.

But many have also been killed.


The head of the town's.

Military administration says.

It was small ‘orcs’ sabotage groups.

Who managed to get to the outskirts.


And not large units.

"They didn't enter.

With serious forces.

Yes, they had certain success.”


“But the street that everyone.

Is talking about.

Soborna Street is under our control.

We have pushed them out.”


This is, however.

The first time that.

‘Orcs’ have managed.

To enter the town.


To enter the town of Avdiivka.

Since the start of.

The full-scale invasion.

In February 2022.


Since last October.

The ‘orcs’ have unleashed.

A relentless campaign.

Of artillery and air strikes.


Authorities say that.

In January alone.

They dropped more than.

300 guided aviation bombs.

 

And as its buildings have been.

Reduced to rubble.

Avdiivka has become a graveyard.

As well as a ghost town.


The dead are left.

Under the rubble.

As there are neither emergency services.

Nor equipment to clear the wreckage.

POETS TARGETED


In one of the videos.

They visit an elderly woman.

After several rockets fell.

Near her house.


They beg her.

To leave to join.

Her grandchildren.

But she refuses.


“Let me die here.”

She tells them.

With a weak voice.

She can barely walk.

 

He and his colleague are part of.

The “White Angels” police unit.

That organises evacuations.

In the ghost town of Avdiivka.


They are often the first to arrive.

At the scene of explosions.

Meaning they are often targeted.

In follow-up attacks.


Earlier this month.

At the site of an air strike.

They discovered a woman.

Bleeding badly inside a house.


Shots rang out nearby.

As they were tending to her wounds.

Shortly afterwards, a drone dropped.

A bomb that narrowly missed their car.


Many residents avoid.

Staying in basements.

In large groups now.

The ‘orcs’ drones can spot.


Where they gather.

And drop bombs.

The ‘orcs’ drones can detect.

The smoke from stoves too.


Despite the bombardments.

And unbearable living conditions.

There is still a contingent of holdouts.

Who do not want to be evacuated.


He said many people were.

Scared of the uncertainty.

Of moving to.

A new location.

 

In one of the videos.

Near her house.

To leave to join.

Her grandchildren.

But she refuses.

POETS THROUGH THE “ROAD OF LIFE”


“Ok, let's go!”

Announces the driver.

“Thank God it's quiet here!”

And for the first time.


A glimpse of a smile appears.

On the faces of his passengers.

As they drive away from.

The horrors of the war.

 

“My wife is very ill.

So I decided to leave.

It's unbearable.

I need to leave to save her.”


He is among six people.

who left with a volunteer.

They made a short stop.

In Myrnohrad.


Some 50km away from.

Their hometown of Avdiivka.

They looked on.

With interest.


As people walked along the pavement.

And cars waited at traffic lights.

They hadn't seen such scenes.

For nearly two years.


Just half an hour before.

As they were leaving Avdiivka.

A shell landed near their second car.

But luckily no-one was hurt.


She, 79, is still shaking.

From the journey through.

What is now known as.

The “road of life”.


Three times shells and rockets.

Fell near her house.

But it was the death of her husband.

That pushed her to leave.


“He went out to get bread.

And never came back.”

She said, crying.

“I've been left alone.”


“I was so scared.

During the strikes.

That my leg got paralysed.”

She wipes tears off her face.


But memories.

Keep coming.

“My house burnt down.

The ceiling collapsed.”


“They hit a house next to mine.

There was a bang.

And it turned into dirt.

Nothing left of it.”


Her fellow passenger.

Left behind his grandparents.

Who refused to leave.

“My grandmother is paralysed and immobile.”


“Ok, let's go!”

Announces the driver.

“Thank God it's quiet here!”

And for the first time.


A glimpse of a smile appears.

On the faces of his passengers.

As they drive away from.

The horrors of the war.

Вірші про війну"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!"

вчимо мовиДуже корисними для вивчення іноземних мов є саме вірші, пісні, казки, римівки, а також ігри. Природнім шляхом діти розвивають слух, навчаються вимові, інтонації та наголосу; вивчають слова та мовні структури. Пісні та римівки чудово сприймаються дітьми, малята люблять усе ритмічне та музичне, вони засвоюють це легко та швидко, тому що дістають від цього задоволення.
