The state flag installed on Zmiiny
A message for the occupiers is written on it
What happened? The national flag of Ukraine was installed on Zmiiny Island.
Source. This was reported by the spokesman of Odesa Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Bratchuk.
Details. A message was left on the flag for a “russian warship” with a reminder that Zmiiny Island is a part of Ukraine.
Background. The russian Black Sea Fleet captured Zmiiny Island in the first week of the war by attacking the former flagship of the fleet of the former “Moscow” and the project 22160 patrol boat “Vasyl Bykov”. The island became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance, as the soldiers responded to the rashist's offer to lay down their arms with the words “russian warship, go fuck yourself.”
On June 30, defenders of Ukraine fired at russian positions on the island, as a result of which the russian occupiers retreated. The Ministry of Defense of the russian federation unexpectedly announced that the russian Armed Forces had left Zmiiny as a “gesture of goodwill”.
