Snake Island has become a symbol in Ukraine since the radio exchange, which went viral on social networks, in which Ukrainian border guards on the first day of the conflict shouted “Damn you, Russian military ship!” to the Russian cruiser, Moskva, who ordered them to surrender.

Shortly after this exchange, the ship bombed the island, the Russians took control of it, and the Ukrainian soldiers were captured. They were later released in a prisoner exchange with Moscow.
The recording of this verbal exchange was a leitmotif of the Ukrainian resistance, and the oppression of the border guards even appeared on banners during demonstrations of support abroad, and on Ukrainian stamps.
Kyiv said the cruiser Moskva, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, sank in mid-April after being hit by Ukrainian missiles. Moscow, for its part, claimed that it was damaged by an explosion on board.
