Ballistics over Podil
The night of October 27, 2026, has once again tested Kyiv with fire. Russian occupiers attacked the city with ballistic missiles twice during the night, striking the Podilskyi, Desnianskyi, and Dniprovskyi districts of the capital. Civilians, residential buildings, dormitories, and Kyoto Park were affected.
The following lines are dedicated to the resilience of the city, which stands once more under the blows of terror, defending its skies:
Ballistics Over Podil
At three AM the sirens cried,
The crimson sky was ripped by steel.
Ballistic fire rushed inside,
With deadly storms the marshes deal.
The ancient hills are struck by sound,
Podil in smoke, the woods ablaze.
But Kyiv holds its sacred ground,
Through burning nights and modern days.
A quiet park, a student dorm,
The target of a nighttime raid.
But underneath the iron storm,
The spirit of the land is made.
For every dawn that breaks with tears,
For every life cut short by blade,
Kyiv withstands the darkest years,
Its freedom never will be paid.
The shield of titans guards the space,
The morning light will pierce the smoke.
Kyiv will heal in pride and grace,
Eternal, sovereign, and unbroke.
