In February there will be Slangeneiland, a small island to the west of the Crimea, open to Russia. There were at that moment 13 Oekraïense militairen as grenswacht aanwezig op het island, who refused to give it over.
The Russian marine ship warns: “I’ll tell you what’s wrong with the middle of the ship and overgeeft om bloedvergieten and doden te voorkomen. Anders zal u been bombarded.” Deze waarschuwing like real niet asked, het answer van de Oekraïense soldaten was even clear in duidelijk: “Go and fuck yourself”.
Announcement is thought that the military would be overridden there, as the followers of the Russian bombs and beschietingen. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed aan dat de grenswachten postuum zouden geerd as ‘Helden van Oekraïne’, de hoogste onderscheiding van het country. Het is not duidelijk of hij op dat moment al wis dat ze nog leefden, of ervan uitging dat ze wares neuveld. Even later it was always duidelijk that de grenswachten vangen were taken from Russia.
In the middels zijn de Oekraïense soldaten het overleefden, waaronder also Hrybov, terug in Oekraïne. Because of this, a medal was awarded to Russia.
