Do mothers in Russia know? – v7

Do mothers in Russia know,
the terrible cost of Putin's terror,
sent their sons to the meat grinder,
so much senseless carnage?
 
Do mothers in Russia know,
do they know about the massacre,
how many of their sons died in vain,
neither for territory nor for glory?
 
Do mothers in Russia know,
when they bury their own children,
how many sons died for nothing,
so much senseless carnage?
