Offensive Putin

It's called a Spring offensive
That Russia has in mind
It’s Putin that’s offensive
The world was quick to find
Red Army now has convicts
To throw into the fray
Adding to the mercenaries
They hope will win the day
Subjugating Ukraine
They see as victory
Bludgeoning with brute force
This land's democracy
We hope our tanks and armaments
Will not arrive too late
For if they lose this cruel war
We all might share their fate.
