'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Ukraine,

Great deeds are occurring, as heroes fight dudes with no brain.

Poland sent aid, the forty-fifth package to the fray,

The contents kept secret, for it’s safer that way.



Two soldiers from Ukraine, with valor so grand,

Captured five Russians, who invaded this land.

Eight had they been, but three got turned to paste,

The remaining five decided to surrender post-haste.


On Christmas Eve night, due to the 77th’s might,

Eleven invaders were captured during a fight.

Including a Belarusian, who’d joined the wrong side,

Now prisoners of war, their conquest denied.



Prime Minister Shmyhal, saying help draws near,

Spoke of one billion dollars now already here.

From the U.S. it came, as part of a plan,

A loan to be repaid by Russian assets already in hand.



Japan and the UK, join in that game

providing assistance, a billion more came.

These loans were for aid, to provide a helping hand,

Funding social and health programs throughout the land.



Ukrainian factories, they have begun

To produce ammunition, for the war to be won.

NATO-standard shells, from tanks to artillery,

Will be made in Ukraine, with great skill-ery.



Latvia, so kind, donated cars with great care,

From drunk drivers’ possession, to Ukraine they were shared.

Six hundred and twelve, worth millions in gold,

A gift to the fighters, to the brave and the bold.



A Russian plane, in the skies met its fate,

It collided with a drone, didn’t dodge or escape.

The aircraft was damaged, the pilot survived,

The plane needs repairs, before it can fly.



A list was leaked out, of Russian soldiers who fled,

Nearly 20,000 deserters went missing, it said.

From Russia they ran, in shame and disgrace,

Leaving their comrades to fight in their place.



The Biden team ponders before they depart,

New sanctions on Russia, to stab at their heart.

The energy sector, the source of their gold,

To weaken the Russians, and loosen their hold.



The Cabinet of Ukraine, provided with expert insight,

Made new laws for drones, to speed up the fight.

No more delays, no more long wait,

Just quick deliveries of drones bought by the state.



And off the coast of Spain, with a thunderous sound,

The Ursa Major sank, as the seas did pound.

A ship full of cargo, its engine room flooding,

Sank in the deep, as the waves kept on thudding.



As the snow falls so softly, let all hearts awake,

For the heroes who fight-don’t forget what’s at stake.

With courage and honor, they face every test,

And strive for a future where all are at rest.
