The head of the press center of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine, Natalya Gumenyukova, said at a briefing that the Ukrainian army placed the country's flag on the island of Snake Island.
“The territory has been returned to the jurisdiction of Ukraine,” Gumenyuk believes.

She did not provide any details. Gumenyuk also did not answer the question whether there are currently Ukrainian troops on the island or whether this act was committed by a small group that left Zmeiny after the flag was placed.
Recall that earlier the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the withdrawal of Russian troops from the islands as a step of goodwill to demonstrate that there are no obstacles to the UN's efforts to organize the export of Ukrainian grain.
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu today informed Russian President Vladimir Putin about the liberation of the territory of the DLR.
