MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s defence ministry said on Tuesday its forces had destroyed a U.S.-made military speedboat near Snake Island in the Black Sea.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
Tiny Snake Island became synonymous with Ukrainian resistance in the first hours of what Russia calls its “special military operation” on Feb. 24, 2022, when Russian officers on the Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva radioed Ukrainian guards stationed there and ordered them to surrender or die.
