'Go f*** yourself': Ukraine troops' defiant words to Russian warship before being killed defending tiny island
One immensely emotive story attracting a large amount of attention - and clearly symbolic of the defiance with which Ukranian forces are resisting their invaders - comes from a tiny island in the Black Sea.
In audio shared by a Ukranian official, one of the small number of border guards on the speck of land south of Odessa is heard in conversation with a Russian warship.
Told to surrender, the Ukrainian troop is heard responding: "Go f*** yourself."
