In the tradition of General McAuliffe outside Bastogne.

'Go f*** yourselves': Final words of Ukrainian guards on Snake Island​

However, the Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to give up the territory and instead replied with a defiant message of 'Go f*** yourselves.'

The Russian soldiers on radio are heard muttering the curse back at the defiant Ukrainians.

Soon afterwards, all were killed in an aerial bombardment.

Late on Thursday, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged the deaths of the soldiers.

As General Patton once said, "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

That was my quote at his wake for my Grandfather, a WII vet who died at 102, and it applies to these men here.
