Ukraine’s Armed Forces have shown what they claim drove Russian forces off of Snake Island, in various clips and images that show the missile and air strikes they carried out.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi stated:
“Unable to withstand the fire of our artillery, missile and air strikes, the invaders left the island”
Taking to their official Twitter account, the Defence of Ukraine posted:
“Three ingredients of the successful operation: skills of the Ukrainian military; modern Ukrainian weapons; equipment from our international partners and the Snake Island is free from occupation.”
