Kremenchug

“Twelve have been released today in various regions. In particular, four rockets hit Pavlohrad, as well as Konotop, the Kremenchug oil refinery, and other regions were also hit.”

“For sure I do not have any expectations” about Biden, said a tearful Ira Satula, 32, from Kremenchug.

He spent six years at the Kremenchug and Chuguyev pilots’ colleges in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, graduating from propeller-engined Yak11 trainers to MiG15 and MiG17 subsonic fighter jets.

At Kremenchug he met the forces sailing under command of Krechovski and Barabash, despatched by the hetmans against Hmelnitski.

Beyond Kremenchug the shores became lower and open.
