🔴 Russian War In Ukraine - Moments Before The Attack On Ukrainian Soldiers Defending Snake Island

Video footage suggests the Ukrainian Soldiers who defended Snake Island against a Russian warship posed no real danger to the Russian ship. In the clip the ship is clearly visible relatively close to the island what means it did not have to fear any significant counter reaction to this.

Brutal. Hearing about it first is one thing but now seeing their faces is something else

[Sukhumvit]

These guys are badass, They will always be remembered in Ukrainian history

Ukrainian border guards from Snake Island are alive. They are not 13, but 82 people. They are alive. But Kiev has already buried them.

I think it's important to set it straight. These soldiers that were defending Snake Island weren't killed and are alive in Russian custody. The Ukrainian Navy contradicted President Zelensky's original statement that they died heroes.

"The soldiers on the island repelled two attacks by Russian forces but in the end were forced to surrender "due to the lack of ammunition." - Source, Ukrainian Navy (as reported by CNN, Military Times, and other news outlets)

My entire life wouldn't be enough to replicate a fraction of the guts these soldiers had. You are against a superpower with arms that's enough to bomb the earth not once but 12 times over and over and you are soldiers lightly armed and yet you have the courage to stand against the enemy. I bow down to your bravery and will admire it a lifetime.

The legend of the 13 snakes. With a single transmition they made history. Modern day "Nuts!" moment.

[eyyobym]

They surrendered without a fight and were transported to Sevastopol, where they received any help they needed, but in Ukraine they were declared Heroes of Ukraine posthumously

[RTSG_Prism]

All of them survived, they surrendered to Russia and are in custody.

[pyrowolf]

These men had balls stronger than titanium. They knew they were not going to survive but they stood there ground until they died.

[leofedorov]

Those were border guards. Not intended, equipped or expected to fight the invading enemy’s navy. Nobody would have blamed them for surrendering. Which makes them heroes even more so.

[Katrielible]

This time last week, they could have never known it was their last. May they rest easy in the arms of the Father and may God be their family's comfort and strength.
Slava Ukraini!

[petesy]

They were taken prisoner and there wasn’t 13 there was 82 Ukrainian soldiers, tell the truth, that’s why this war has started!!!

[WiseOwl_]

Bold of them to tell the ship to fook off. Respect

[abraham]

RIP. They died fighting for freedom, against a ruthless, vicious aggressor. Respect to Ukraine🇺🇦❤💪

[iFailMW]

Military personnel surrendered and now captured. No one killed.

[toddhuzel]

This is so heart breaking . Those people are someone's loved ones that that they will never see again.It breaks my heart

[VictoryAviation]

And with a, "Go F*** Yourselves" history was made. Mad respect to these lads.

[fatherfrancisco]

Да что вы сказки то рассказываете. Живы они, привезли всех домой, 82 человека. Они сдались и их приняли по человечески. Сейчас много не правды публикуется. Помимо обычной ещё ведётся информационная война.

[Enp]

It was later confirmed that all of these men in fact are still alive and were captured.
