The Snake Island soldier who uttered the Ukraine-Russia war's most famous put-down when he refused to surrender to a Russian warship has been awarded a civic medal.
Trapped on the tiny Black Sea island and massively outgunned, Roman Gribov's response to the Russian warship was emphatic.
"Russian warship. Go f---- yourself!" he said in a recording released on the internet and listened to millions of times.
This defiance on February 24, the first day of the war, sparked a surge of patriotism among Ukrainians.
The slogan appeared on billboards across the country, at anti-Russia protests in capitals across the world and even inspired a new Ukrainian stamp with a lone soldier giving a dark, hulking warship a middle-fingered salute.
