"Ukraine has honoured 13 soldiers who were killed defending a tiny island after reportedly swearing at a Russian ship that ordered them to surrender.
In unverified audio clips, the borders guards defending Zmiinyi Island in the Black Sea are told to "lay down your weapons" or "be bombed".
"Russian warship, go to hell," they respond.
Ukraine says they were then killed by air and sea strikes. Russia denies the account, saying they all surrendered.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has awarded each of the guards the posthumous title of "Hero of Ukraine".
"On our Zmiinyi Island, defending it to the last, all the border guards died heroically," Mr Zelensky said." [0]
This senseless slaughter in response to a verbal insult was used to the maximum extent by the Ukrainian regime propaganda to convince the population and the army to fight.
All of it was a lie, of course. [1]
I believed it too and was deeply shocked by the horrible news. Of course, this trick works only once.
It looks to me you're trying too hard to derail the conversation.
Now, how do you know that what you are "reporting" is not the same kind of story?
