Ukraine: “Russia withdraws from Snake Island”

The Russian army left the Snake Island in the Black Sea after the bombing of the Ukrainian armed forces. This was reported by the Ukrainian southern operational command, explaining in a note that “during the night, following a successful military operation with our missile and artillery units on Snake Island, the enemy hastily evacuated the remains of the garrison on two speedboats and probably left the island. ” The Russian Defense Ministry also confirmed the withdrawal of its troops from the island, calling it a “step of goodwill. The Russian armed forces – wrote the ministry in a statement released by the Russian state news agency Tass – have completed the their mission to Snake Island and have withdrawn their garrison. This decision will prevent Kiev from speculating on the impossibility of exporting grain. “” Russia continues to cause a food crisis and lies. They are still blocking our ports and destroying the wheat “, however, writes on Telegram the head of the Ukrainian presidency, Andriy Yermak, refuting the version given by Moscow on the withdrawal. “They present it as a ‘gesture of good will'” and say that “Russia does not interfere with the humanitarian corridors for the export of Ukrainian wheat. But all this – says Yermak – is completely false: first of all it was the Ukrainian armed forces. to drive the Russians out of Snake Island. Secondly, the Russians are bombarding the warehouses with our grain. A warehouse in the Dnipropetrovsk region was shot in the morning. “
