In his nightly sermon, its president Ukrainian, Volodymyr Zelenskyreferred to Fidonisi and as he pointed out in its liberation from Russian occupation.
“Undoubtedly, the key word today is Fidonisi. There had been so much talk about Fidonisi only when the Russian warship went there. Then the ship left for good – and now the island is free again. I am grateful to the military services of Ukraine and the fighters of the “Alpha” battalion and the pilots of the Air Force,” said Zelensky.
He went on to say:Fidonisi is of strategic importance and significantly changes the situation in the Black Sea. It does not guarantee our safety yet, nor that the enemy will not return, but it limits the enemy’s activities to a great extent. Little by little we will get them out of our sea, our sky and our land».
Undoubtedly, the main word today is Zmiinyi. Apparently, there was just as much talk about Zmiinyi only on the day when the Russian ship arrived there. Then the ship left – forever, and now the island is free again. I am grateful to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, the fighters of “Alpha”, I am grateful to our gunners, pilots of the army aviation and Air Force, the command of “Oleksandriya”.

Smoke was seen rising from the island in satellite photos released, as well as in images broadcast by Ukrainian media. In fact, the Ukrainian authorities reported that the Russian soldiers left the island … running as they boarded two speedboats.
So… Ukraine says the last Russian units have probably been evacuated from the Snake Island following a series of heavy strikes overnight.
