This is where we stand In Ukraine: seventy thousand soldiers killed double that number wounded 15.000 civilians blood was spilled hundreds of children missing Six million abroad, many more displaced, Energy infrastructure shattered Houses destroyed, talent gone to waste And an economy completely tattered A rain of bombs and drones without end Four hundred billion, the cost to mend, Bridges broken, cities scarred, A future uncertain, grave and hard In Russia: Nahvalny dead, the opposition fled, some 1500 put for years behind bars A nation hollowed, silenced, in fear, wishing, in silence, his end would be near.
