A Ukrainian border guard who refused to surrender to a Russian warship telling them to “go f*** yourself” has been given a medal for his services after being released in a prisoner exchange.
Roman Hrybov was based on the tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea with 13 other soldiers when he refused to give up despite being outnumbered and being bombarded from sea and air by the Russians.
On being told to put down their weapons, the response from Hrybov by radio that “Russian warship, go f*** yourself”, was broadcast around the world.
