Explanations in English, please!

This is from a Ukrainian song and I have a hard time understanding Катів проклятих, мочим and пруть.

intruding (our land)
Explanation:
"пруть" in this context means "purposely and consistently moving (ahead)".
Maybe, the term "intrude" describes the meaning.

And special thanks to the asker for the attempt to find the right word

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thank you for the link, although not everything is correct there, either. But it gave me some ideas. I would say: Damn executioners we’ll slay without mercy, Those, who trudge/trample/crawl upon our land. (wade onto our land). But I'm still not sure about the meaning of пруть. Does it mean crawling or trespassing? Because trudging is not clear, either. I think, trespassing on our land would make the most sense. But what does пруть really mean? Can you explain or describe exactly, what it means? Because crawling, trampling and trudging sound, as if they had entered your land by accident. But of course, I know, that's not the case. That's why I'm looking for the right word. But in order to find it, I need to know, what пруть exactly means.
