There are daily diaries over on Daily Kos that aggregate news, blogs, Xitter posts, etc., and I’ve seen this same kind of thing there. Not this same accusation, mind you, but other Ukrainian accounts of Russian orcs waltzing across the border.

Keeping that in mind, the border UA and RU share is huge and Ukraine simply cannot defend it all. It’s also impossible to put up barbed wire, anti-personnel and tank mines, etc., across all that distance with all else going on. And…there’s plenty of “frontier” territory for the orcs to use - and I have seen specific mention of them crossing over from such areas.
