The Battle of Snake Island
On February 24, authorities announced that Russian forces had taken over Ukraine’s Black Sea Snake Island, killing 13 border guards.
Two Russian warships approached the island, the Moscow cruiser and the Vasily Bikov patrol corvette, and offered to surrender to Izmail border troops stationed on the island. They refused.
According to a recording of a radio dialogue between them, Ukrainian border guards received a message: “I am a Russian warship. I suggest we lay down our arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unjustified casualties. Otherwise you will be bombed and attacked. How did you find out, reception? “. To which I received an answer, he went to the people:” Russian ship, fuck it. “
Information later emerged that the defenders of the Dragons may be alive, held captive by the Russian invaders.
