The deputy head of the collaborationist administration in Kherson reads nutty poetry. It turns out the poem is partially plagiarised from a poem that a Ukrainian poet wrote in 1967 when he was seventeen, although this interpretation does not appear to be satirical. It was presumably recorded before the same guy appeared on TV yesterday telling people to evacuate Kherson.
