ON March 29, Ukraine awarded a medal of bravery to a soldier, originally feared to be dead, who told a Russian warship to go f*** yourself before the Snake Island he was defending was attacked.
Roman Hrybov, one of the Ukrainian soldiers defending the tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea, was not killed in the attack, which occurred on the first day of Russias invasion of Ukraine, but was captured by Russian forces along with the rest of his comrades.
He was also the soldier alleged to have yelled the now infamous war line.
In videos posted on social media at the time, audio apparently described a Russian warship approaching the island and asking the border guards to surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary victims, otherwise, youll be bombed.
