Etymology
Borrowed from English orc. The pejorative usage appeared as early as in 2014, when Euromaidan activists referred Yanukovych's supporters and riot policemen as "orcs". Later it was extended in Ukrainian military slang as a term for the Russian enemy during the War in Donbass and was widely popularized by an official Armed Forces of Ukraine Facebook post on 25 February 2022.
