Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that Zmiinyi Island also known as Snake Island, has fallen to Russian forces, with all defenders killed.
An audio making rounds online captured an exchange between the Zmiinyi defenders and the Russian soldiers as they approached the Island.
A Russian officer said: “This is a military warship. This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed.”
A Ukrainian soldier responds: “Russian warship, go f*** yourself.”
Those were the final known words heard from the island. All 13 Ukrainian defenders were killed in a Russian bombardment Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
President Zelensky paid tribute to the soldiers killed on the island which is located in the Black Sea in the Odesa region. It plays an important role in delimiting Ukrainian territorial waters.
