Ukraine war: Snake Island border guards are alive and well, says Ukrainian navy
Euronews says Ukraine’s Navy has said that 13 border guards defending Snake Island are alive and have been captured by Russia.
The men had initially been reported dead last week, but Ukrainian authorities now say they were “captured by the Russian occupiers”.
“We are very happy to learn that our brothers are alive and well,” the Ukrainian Navy said on its official Facebook page.
“The Marines and frontier guards [were] captured by the Russian occupiers on Snake Island.”
Chaotic information surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to confusing and contradictory accounts.
