When Zmiinyi Island was liberated
On June 30th, 2022, Russian occupiers fled from Zmiinyi Island in the Black Sea. This allowed to prevent Russia from reaching the coast of the Odesa region and also opened a "grain corridor."
On the symbolic date of 500 days of the war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Zmiinyi Island. Together with Ukrainian commanders, he honored the memory of the heroes who liberated the island from the occupiers.
