Ukrainian border guards who died defending Snake Island when Russia attacked will all be posthumously titled "Hero of Ukraine."

In an audio clip, they used an expletive and refused to surrender the Black Sea island when ordered to by a Russian warship. https://t.co/FbepkPTO4r

One day, the greatest poet in Ukraine will write about this exchange, and perhaps, it will become their new national anthem.

I truly hope that I can have a fraction of the bravery of the 13 Ukrainian soldiers who told a Russian warship to "go fuck itself" even though they knew what would happen next.

May their memory be for a blessing.

The instagram page for one of those soldiers, just 23 years old, is gut wrenching. https://t.co/WYt9L67QLy
