Unseen footage shows how Ukrainian forces took Snake Island back from Russia
New footage shows how Ukrainian special forces took Snake Island back from Russia.
The clips were released by the Ukrainian Secret Services (SBU) to mark the second anniversary of its liberation.
The island was hit by aerial bombs before helicopters approached the Black Sea outpost.
Russian forces were withdrawn as a “gesture of goodwill”, Russia’s defence ministry said at the time.

Home to the most deadliest snake in the world; the black banded Sea snake π
I dont think there was anyone actually on the island?! Had they been delivering a box of Milk Tray… all because the lady loves dark chocolate… Id hav been very happy with their egos.
Nice bit of war propaganda the Telegraph felt necessary to share.

Old footage. Because Ukraine is stuck in the north especially with the heavy bombing they did recently in sumy and other new territories near Russia border before Kharkov . They are also stuck definitely in chasiv yar. The Ukraine troops are getting ready to be circled in robotyne . So snake island happened maybe three weeks ago or even a month ago.
Zelensky's wife bought the latest Bugatti Turbillon for 4.5 million euros.
During the official visit of the Ukrainian delegation to Paris in early June, Bugatti Automobiles, together with the Paris Dealership, organized a pre-premiere screening of the new Bugatti Turbillon hypercar especially for the Zelenskys (the public premiere took place two weeks later, on June 20). According to the dealer's representative, Zelenskaya was delighted with the new car and placed a pre-order, thus becoming the buyer of the first of 250 cars planned for production.
French journalists were able to get a copy of the invoice for Zelenskaya's new car. To the base price of almost 4 million euros, options for almost 500,000 euros have been added. Zelenskaya will receive her car in 2026.
This happened last year

ΠΠ°ΡΠ½ΠΈΡΠ° )))
Hahhhhhahahahaha UKRAINA COMEDY GREAT:)))
Ruzzian bot spotted here lmao πππ
Oh look there's a squirrel.
Did not really see any Russian. It's an abandoned Island. Ukrainian soldiers were firing just for the heck of it at nothing.
We're russian watching at the sea while they just ignore a helicopter flying toward them?
Whats with the stupid music
oh wow, automatic membership for NATO and another $61 billion coming up soon ?
π I can't see one single Russia on this Snake island π Ukraine land on emptied island
Lol, they'll give it back in the negotiations; I think RU took twice as much land in Donetsk yesterday than this island. Just a show for the NATO summit to convince whoever will still listen they have some life left in themππ
π
I didnβt see any Russian soldiers in this video at all.
I have no idea if Ukraine claimed the island was occupied at the time of this video, but at time 0:59 in the video, the soldier appears to be shooting at someone running just above the smoke in the distance.
This was around june 2022. The russians had already withdrawn from this island when the Ukrainians retook it. The video is pretty much for show, considering there wasnt anyone to fight. I don't know why the telegraph decided to show this now, considering they reported it when the russians withdrew. It was a whole thing. The russians then just started chucking bombs at the island from their ships. The telegraph covered that too. They must have forgotten.
Is this combat footage supposed to be legit? News sources at the time said the russians withdrew from the island before the arrival of ukranian forces
Russia does not hold on to a piece of land that they cannot defend, unlike ukraine they tried desperately to hold on to bahkmut and later on in avdivka, they lost the territory and a lot of men
