Well this is interesting...
Snake Island soldiers who told Russian ship to ‘go ---- yourself’ aren’t dead after all
Quote:
Defiant defenders of Ukraine’s Snake Island — who told a Russian warship to “go ---- yourself” — are alive after reports of their deaths, the Ukrainian navy says.
The 13 Snake Island soldiers “were taken captive by Russian occupiers,” Ukraine confirmed on Monday, Feb. 28. This comes four days after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine on three fronts early Thursday, Feb. 24, “bombarding cities, towns and villages.”

Who knows what to believe anymore. It's wartime...stuff is hazy/confusing, at best, and things get mistated, deliberately or otherwise, to either boost - or crush - morale/spirts (based on which side you're coming from).
So that's good...they all didn't die. At least that's what we're told this afternoon. We might hear a third take come Wednesday or so. I guess the lesson here is take anything you see, read or hear coming out of the region with a bit of salt.
