Ukraine snake island...

We should be proud of a country like Ukraine who want to stand up to the massive Russian Federation, it's just a pity that other country's won't get in and help them before they lose so much.

I just read on the news....

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that Zmiinyi Island – also known as Snake Island – has fallen to Russian forces, with all defenders killed in the desperate battle.

The tiny island, located in the Black Sea in the Odessa region, plays an important role in delimiting Ukrainian territorial waters. "today we lost 137 military and civilians, including 10 officers. All defenders of the Snake island are dead. All of them will be named Heroes of Ukraine.”

According to a translation shared by BuzzFeed correspondent Christopher Miller, who spent 11 years based in Ukraine and eastern Europe, Russians forces ordered the defenders to surrender.

“This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed,” the Russians said. The Ukrainian response was simple, and powerful: “Russian warship, go f*ck yourself”.
