Ukraine forces have hit back in a revenge attack on Snake Island - the infamous location of the border guards' retort for a Russian warship to “go f***” themselves on the opening day of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The defiance of the defenders of Zmiinyi (Snake Island) on February 24 became symbolic of Kyiv’s resistance in the opening exchanges of the conflict.
The island was captured by Moscow’s navy but not before Ukrainian border guards told a Russian military ship, which had demanded their surrender, where to go.
