Russia-Ukraine

Russia, that motherland,
The troubled land,
Crossing over to claim without claiming,
A threat of the beast
from the west,
Two dangers, two old foes,
But strangers,
Intentions frozen in hostility,
A war to nowhere, to no life or prosperity,
There will be no winners,
What are borders? That's a matter for another time.
Let this one remain in noble silence and tranquility.
