A FINAL SALUTE TO THE 13 BRAVE UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS WHO TOLD RUSSIA TO "GO F*** YOURSELF"
UPDATE: It appears that the 13 soldiers may have been captured and imprisoned according to media sources.
“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.”
“Russian warship, go f*** yourself.”
Snake Island, a small 40-acre rocky Ukrainian island in the Black Sea, located approximately 25 miles from Romania, a NATO member nation, came under attack from the Russian Navy. Defiantly defended by 13 Ukrainian soldiers acting as border guards who died when attacked by a superior force against which they had no defense.
The strategic value of Snake Island is that it legally allows Russia to exert a 12-mile territorial waters control zone which impacts upon strategic shipping channels that could isolate the port cities of Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson to crush the Ukraine economy and curtail the resupply of expended weaponry.
Bottom line…
Honor and national pride are not dead.
May these soldiers rest in peace, having rendered the ultimate sacrifice to their nation.
