Perhaps the biggest story hyped by the controlled media this week was the tale of 13 Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island refusing to surrender to a Russian warship and telling them “go f**k yourself” before being blown to smithereens.
On late Friday or early Saturday, Russia released video purportedly showing dozens of Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island were actually detained alive.
On Saturday, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine put out a statement on Facebook acknowledging they now have “got strong beliefs that all Ukrainian defenders of Zmiiniy Island may be alive.”
They said they were previously operating “according to available information” at the time and their story about Snake Island was based on “preliminary information” before they “lost contact” with those on the island.
“Currently, after receiving information about their probable location, the SBGS together with the Armed Forces is working to identify our soldiers, which is common in open networks,” the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said. “We sincerely hope that the boys will return home as soon as possible, and the information received at the time of the attack on the death will not be confirmed.”
