“Historical justice” has been restored to the strategic Snake Island, destroyed during the Russian occupation, now that Ukrainian border guards they replaced the border signKyiv declared this Sunday.
The island is one of the most potent symbols of the Ukrainian resistance. The small but strategic territory was the scene of one of the opening salvoes of the war in Ukraine, with demands from a Russian warship calling on the Ukrainian defenders to surrender. They boldly replied: “Russian warship, fuck you“. The Russian navy captured the island at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, but Ukraine was able to get it back in June 2022.
Here is the latest news on Russia’s war against Ukraine:
More actions in the Black Sea: A Russian warship fired warning shots and boarded a cargo ship headed for Ukraine in the Black Sea on Sunday, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Russia said the warship fired warning shots when the captain of the Palau-flagged dry cargo ship failed to respond to “the request to stop for inspection of the transport of prohibited goods.” The incident took place in the southwestern Black Sea, according to the ministry. Both Kyiv and Moscow have intensified their attacks on sea lanes and ports since the failure of a major grain deal last month.

One civilian killed and others wounded in the occupied area of Donetsk: One civilian was killed and six wounded as a result of Ukrainian shelling on the occupied areas of the eastern Donetsk region on Saturday, according to Denis Pushilin, a Russian-appointed leader.
Ukraine declares a “partial success” near the village located in the south of the front: Ukraine declared a “partial success” near the village of Robotyne, on the southern Zaporizhia front, after weeks of fighting in the area.
