Ukrainian border guards defending a Black Sea island defiantly told an invading Russian warship to “go f–k yourself” when asked to surrender and were killed when the warship opened fire.
The 13 guards were posted on the small but strategic Snake Island off Ukraine’s southeastern border when they were approached by two vessels on Thursday, according to Ukrainian media outlets.
The Russians contacted the guards and identified themselves as a “Russian Warship,” demanding that they surrender “to avoid bloodshed,” or else they will open fire according to audio of the exchange.
“Russian warship, go f–k yourself,” the Ukrainian guards bluntly responded.

In the vein of “Nuts”.
Perhaps there will a Ukrainian war ballad devoted to their last senseless act? 🤪
I wish Americans could defend our southern border like that. We’d all be jailed and imprisoned.

A modernized version.
That’s some balls right there playa.
The guards might have said, “Let’s go, Putin.”
Better to say that from a well constructed bunker
I am really starting to admire the Ukrainian people.
“Russian warship, go f–k yourself and Let's go Brandon!”
With some anti-ship missiles.
Love it. Hey at least they gave them a shot, whoops I guess that’s a pun intended
They had a death wish.
Sounds like propaganda.
While I applaud them for their courageous if futile suicide, I think it would be far more effective for them to pull the Russian’s chains in different ways.
1) “It would be unwise to surrender before we could disable the substantial number of land mines before you arrive.”
2) “We have had an outbreak of an indeterminate but highly infectious lethal disease, so we must declare this island under a state of quarantine. Please notify the WHO that no one should visit until a biological inspection has been made or no communication from us has been received for 72 hours.”
3) “The People’s Republic of China has declared this island and its waters to be part of their territory and has landed a detachment here to secure their sovereignty. Please contact their embassy about any issues of dispute.”
Reminds me of the Alamo… which, I remember !
Apparently, they didn’t want “Americans to die for them.” Ukrainians are fighting. Putin has badly miscalculated and now a lot of Russians are going to die.
Shades of Wake Island and Bastogne. Ukrainians said Nuts! to the Putinist invaders.
