Thirteen Ukrainian soldiers refused to surrender an island to a Russian warship and in a final act of defiance told their attackers to “…go f*ck yourself!”
The island the Ukrainian soldiers were defending with their lives was captured by Russian forces after the massacre.
“All the defenders of the island of Zmiinyi died, but did not surrender. All of them will be named Heroes of Ukraine.” said Ukrainian President Zelensky.

The soldiers were stationed on the small border island of Zmiinyi in the Black Sea. A Russian warship ordered them to surrender. Zmiinyi, translated into English as Snake Island, is located approximately 30 miles off Ukraine’s coast, and has a total land area less than 1/10th of a square mile.
