Nazarov's quote: "On Zmiinyi, the Ruscists are stubbornly setting up air defence systems, trying to provide cover to their ship's personnel from possible damage.

A Ruscist naval group is maintaining a submarine, despite the variable number of ships, and continuing to threaten missile strikes with at least 30 cruise missiles. "

Background:

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Chief Intelligence Directorate vowed that Ukraine would fight for Zmiinyi (Snake) Island for as long as it takes, as this is a strategically important point.
