Source: President Zelensky visits Snake Island as war enters 500th day – BBC News
Volodymyr Zelensky has posted a video of himself visiting an island that became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance – as the war enters its 500th day.
At the start of the war, Ukrainian soldiers defending Snake Island famously defied an order from a Russian warship to surrender.
The Black Sea island was seized by Russia, but later reclaimed by Ukraine.
In a video, the Ukrainian president called it a “place of victory” that would never be reconquered.
In the undated clip, posted on Telegram, Mr Zelensky described it as proof that Ukraine would return every inch of its territory taken by Russia since the full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022.
“I want to thank from here, from this place of victory, each of our soldiers for these 500 days,” Mr Zelensky said in the video, in which he was shown arriving on the island by boat and leaving flowers at a memorial.
The Ukrainian president later announced the return home of five former prisoners of war captured by the Russians during last year’s siege of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
They had been in Turkey since September 2022 after being freed from Russian captivity as part of a wider prisoner exchange.
弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基发布了一段自己访问蛇岛岛屿的视频，该岛已成为乌克兰抵抗运动的象征——战争进入第 500 天。 战争开始时，保卫蛇岛的乌克兰士兵曾藐视俄罗斯军舰的投降命令。 黑海蛇岛被俄罗斯占领，但后来被乌克兰收回。 在一段视频中，乌克兰总统称其为永远不会被征服的“胜利之地”。 在电报上发布的这段未注明日期的视频中，泽伦斯基称这证明乌克兰将收回自 2022 年 2 月 24 日全面入侵开始以来被俄罗斯占领的每一寸领土。 泽伦斯基在视频中说道：“我想从这里，从这个胜利的地方，感谢这 500 天里我们每一位士兵。”视频中，他乘船抵达该岛，并在纪念碑前献花。 乌克兰总统随后宣布，去年在马里乌波尔亚速钢铁厂被俄罗斯俘虏的五名前战俘已返回家园。
