All Ukrainian border guards protecting a tiny island in the Black Sea from Russian invaders were killed yesterday after refusing to surrender to warmonger Vladimir Putin’s forces and defiantly telling a Kremlin warship: ‘Go f*** yourselves!’.
The small contingent of soldiers, reportedly 13 in number, were posted on Snake Island in the Odessa region near NATO ally Romania and were defending the territory after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning.
In a radio message, the soldiers were told by a sailor on board the vessel: ‘This is Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed.’ However, the Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to give up the territory, and instead replied: 'Go f*** yourselves!’.
The Russian soldiers on radio are heard muttering the curse back at the Ukrainians, before all the border guards were killed in an aerial bombardment. Their deaths were later acknowledged by Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A video circulating on Twitter also appeared to show the moment that the island was shelled. It showed a Ukrainian soldier staring at a camera before a shell landed nearby.
On Thursday afternoon, Ukraine’s interior ministry had said Snake Island, which is also called Zmiinyi, had been attacked by Russian forces.
The island is ruled by Ukraine but sits just miles from the coast of Romania. Snake Island is strategically important because it will allow Russia to claim territorial waters stretching 12 nautical miles out to sea. They cover important shipping channels to the port cities of Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson.

The names of these 13 will forever be thought of as national hero’s in Ukraine
Dying to keep the Biden’s enriched. Pathetic.
“Sure sounds like propaganda to me.”
I read a completely different story. One where they said, “See you in Valhalla!”
I liked that one better.
They have less reason to. They’re already f@#$ed. But they might.
I don’t want you to die for your country, I want you to make the other poor b*sturd die for his country: Patton.

That figures.. It was a different source. I love using the Daily Mail UK because they have lots of pics and videos. call them a tabloid at times if you all will but they do cover stuff pretty good.
thank you for posting that... See I’m thinking all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Then again Ukraine is a young country.
Stirring ballad? Yes! And it should be written by Sabaton.
The island has strategic significance for Putin in regards to the Nato instillations in Romania. If he takes Ukraine no doubt he’ll set defensive things up there.
I doubt it. He'll move on the Baltics and probably Poland after that. NATO won't resist, but will accommodate.
Baltic and Scandinavian nations need to form their own defensive alliance and stop relying on NATO.
Putin isn’t sleeping well... He knows full well that the best way for this to come to an end, is for him to come to an end... Most Russians aren’t interested invading any country... They are interested in consumer goods, and all the luxury that they now have because of Capitalism... Not Communism. Putin longs for the old days... Most Russians want to forget the old days.
To win wars... You need support from your own people... A few more Russian transport planes full of troops going down over the Ukraine, and Putin may find himself the victim of a bloody coup with his head on a pike.
