Details: Special appointees of the State Border Service, together with units of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, ensure the safety of civil shipping in the waters of the Black Sea.
In particular, enemy aircraft and warships are not allowed to approach the Ukrainian coast.
“Today, Zmiiny Island is a real outpost in the Black Sea,” the border guards add.
We will remind: Russian occupiers captured Snake Island on the first day of a full-scale invasion. At first there was information that his defenders had died, but later it became known that the Russians had taken them prisoner. Ukraine is gradually returning Zmiyny’s defenders from captivity as a result of exchanges.
The response of a DPSU soldier to the proposal to surrender, which sounded from the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation “Moskva”: “Russian warship, go to hell!”
The missile cruiser “Moskva” was sunk by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles “Neptun” in April 2022.
Ukraine regained control over the Snake Island in July 2022 as a result of a complex special operation.
