Vladimir Putin, “trying to protect the east of Ukraine”, "got lost in the maps" and sent his dogs to “protect” all corners of Ukraine, including the small rocky island of Serpent in the Black Sea.

According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, on February 24, Russian terrorists demanded that 13 soldiers of the Izmail border detachment of Ukraine surrender, otherwise they would be bombed. Ukrainians, risking their lives, but defending the country, opaquely answered “no”.

- Russian warship, go fu*k yourself.

The occupiers opened fire on the island with the barrel of ship’s weapons and military aircraft. As a result of the bloodthirsty massacre of two ships of Russian occupiers against 13 people of the Ukrainian Border Service, the infrastructure of the island was completely destroyed, and communication with the border guards lost. Ukraine sent the ship Sapphire for its citizens, but the Russians blocked the way to the island and seized the ship.

For a long time, the fate of 13 soldiers of who sacrificed themselves for Ukraine was unknown. There was also no contact with them. The president of Ukraine awarded the entire staff of the defense of Serpent Island with the title of Hero of Ukraine posthumously. On March 1, 2021, the Russians published information without evidence that the entire composition of the Izmail border detachment was alive and was being held captive by Russian terrorists. Ukraine is doing everything possible to return its citizens.
