The Snake Island soldiers who reportedly told a Russian warship to "go f--- yourself" were captured alive by Russia after initial reports indicated the service members died in the attack, the Ukrainian Navy confirmed Monday.
Ukraine's military lost contact with the 13 marines and border guards on Zmiinyi Island, or "Snake" Island, after a Russian attack, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said each of them would be posthumously awarded the title of "Hero of Ukraine."
The Russian attack decimated the island’s infrastructure. The crew of a Ukrainian Sapphire civilian ship sent to the island to aid the victims were also captured by the Russians, Ukraine said.

A.) We were inundated with reports of the opposite and now this. Pffft.
Is Zelenskyy still even in Kyiv? Numerous pics of him wearing military garb on 2/24/22 are from him inspecting the border on 4/9/21.
The pic of an old woman with a bloody face and bandaged head? It’s from Magnitogorsk, 2018.
The viral clip of Ukrainian men saying goodbye...Real? No, its from “The War of Chimeras” (2017).
The “tank” that ran over the old man’s car was Ukrainian.

Why should I or anyone believe anything anymore shown on TV from Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc, NYT, New York Post, WaPo, etc without extensive digging?
Why should I believe the media when shown tanks on fire or maps showing troop or war advancement?
In war, the first casualty is the truth.
In this case, it was a wounded casualty, the truth came out pretty quick, not a KIA.
I’m still waiting to hear Volodmore Zelenskyy SAY he wants ammunition and not a ride. Its being REPORTED he said that.
Believe everything and believe nothing
I’m glad they’re alive but I’m also sick of fact checking from the media being almost non-existent and long tired of lies.
bkmk
This is why I trust nothing coming out of the headlines. Look at what they said about Trump. (No cable for 6 years)
Anytime, the MSM and ancient oligarchs like Pelosi, Biden, and Soros are pushing an agenda, I’m skeptical.
but still they shot down two Russian transports, r-right?
I believe what I want to believe.
Those 13 Snake Island defenders sank those Russian warships and took the surviving Russian crew prisoners.
What? Do you mean there was lying going on about this event? I don’t believe it.
Yep. No way they surrendered.
And no way they surrendered either.
The Russians don't play by his rules.
Who knows what the end result will be?
God is in charge.
Next they’ll be telling us a 56 tank convoy wasn’t destroyed in a Ukrainian turkey shoot or one pilot didn’t take out five Russians over Kiev or 10,000 Russians haven’t been killed. It amazes me that after having a ringside seat to the same coordinated media propaganda full court press to start the Scamdemic, people can’t wait to eat up the same type BS here.
“The fog of war”........
Don’t forget the apartment building that was damaged by a Russian missile. Except wasn’t it an errant Ukrainian missile? In that case...oops!
Do they get to keep their “Hero of Ukraine” medals?
