On July 4, on the Independence Day of the United States, the Ukrainian flag was set up on the island. What is very important: the Russian warship Moskva, which ordered the defenders of Serpent island to lay down their arms and surrender, was destroyed by a Ukrainian Neptune missile and is now rusting at the bottom of the Black sea.
