“This is Russian warship. I repeat. I suggest you surrender your weapons and capitulate. Otherwise, I will open fire. Do you copy?” the Russian troops said over a radio.

“This is it,” a Ukrainian border guard says quietly to another guard.

“Should I tell him to go f—k himself? Just in case,” he continues.

After a short moment, the Ukrainian guard turns up the volume on radio and responds, “Russian warship, go f—k yourself.”

All 13 guards were killed while standing their ground in the face of a Russian attack.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenskyy said in a speech following the attack, that all of the border guards who were killed defending the country will be honored with the title of the “Hero of Ukraine.”

“Defending the Zmiinyi island, all our border guards died a heroic death. But they have not surrendered. They will all be awarded posthumously the title of the Hero of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said. “Let those who gave their lives for Ukraine be remembered forever.”

Honor those who sacrifice their safety and lives in the fight for Freedom.
