Ukrainian sailors who were captured after telling the Russian military to 'go f*** yourself' over the radio as they defended a small island in the Black Sea have been freed in a prisoner exchange with Moscow.
The 19 sailors defending Zmiinyi (Snake) Island were initially thought to have been killed by the invading Russian navy during the first week of the war, but it was later confirmed that they had been held as prisoners of war.
On Thursday, exactly one month after Russian troops invaded, the Ukrainian Parliament confirmed the sailors had been released as part of an exchange for 11 Russian sailors captured from a sunken ship.
