Snake Island

From Yahoo:

“Ukrainians trapped on Snake Island to the Russians demanding their surrender: ‘go f*ck yourself.’”

The 13 Ukrainian Border Guards stationed on a rocky Black Sea landmass known as Snake Island might have known they were doomed when the Russian warship called for their surrender Thursday during the first full day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“This is a Russian warship,” the invaders radioed to the guards. “I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed.”

“Russian warship, go f*ck yourself,” the Ukrainians responded.

Later in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the guards had “died heroically” defending the island, also known as Zmiinyi, according to a report in Ukrayinska Pravda. According to the report, the Russians fired on the island from the ship and then hit the island with “combat aircraft.”  “Late in the evening, the State Border Service reported that communication with the border guards…was lost,” the report states. “On our Snake Island, defending it to the last, all the border guards died heroically,” Zelenskyy said. “But they did not give in. All of them will be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine posthumously. Eternal memory to those who gave their lives for Ukraine.”

The sacrifice of those on Snake Island soon became an online rallying cry for their countrymen and those worldwide who are rooting for the embattled yet still-free Ukrainians to win out against the larger, authoritarian Russian force.

^ Everyone (including every single Russian – Soldier and Civilian, Male and Female) should listen to this recording and know about the 13 brave Ukrainian Soldiers who were killed by the Russians for defending their homeland. If Russia continues their bombing, their shooting, their invasion then I am sure we will see and hear more such heroic stories from the Ukrainians. Even if Ukraine were to be captured and occupied by the Russians I’m sure their will be an active Ukrainian Resistance (Partisans) who will go after the Russians in the villages and in the cities until the Russians are eventually sent back to Russia – either through a Military Withdrawal or in Body Bags. ^
