Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Ukrainian soldiers on a visit to Snake Island, a legendary site of his country's defiance, as he marked 500 days of war with Russia
The island took on legendary significance for Ukraine's resistance to the Russian invasion, when Ukrainian troops there reportedly received a demand from a Russian warship to surrender or be bombed. The answer supposedly came back: "Go f*** yourself."The island's Ukrainian defenders were captured by the Russians but later freed as part of a prisoner exchange.
Intense battles continued to rage on Saturday in the country's east and south as Ukrainian forces pressed their attacks against multi-layered Russian defences in the initial stages of their counter-offensive. The Russian military insisted that it has successfully fended off Ukrainian attacks in various sections of the front and inflicted heavy losses on the attackers.
