Snake Island

The Ukrainian Navy has confirmed that all of the soldiers defending Snake Island, shown here, are “alive and well” despite being feared dead in Russia’s invasion last Thursday. After repelling two attacks by Russian forces, the 13 Ukrainian soldiers were forced to surrender due to a lack of ammunition. The island, located in the Black Sea near the Danube Delta, plays an important role in marking Ukraine’s territorial waters. All of Snake Island’s infrastructure — including lighthouses, towers and antennas — has now been destroyed.
