The Ukrainian soldiers who defended Snake Island from a Russian warship are actually all alive – a welcome bit of news after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mistakenly confirmed their deaths last week following a brave act of resistance.

The Ukrainian Navy confirmed in a statement that all the soldiers on the tiny island are “alive and well,” despite being attacked twice by the Russian forces and being forced to surrender “due to the lack of ammunition.”

The statement also said that the Russian attack completely destroyed the island’s infrastructure – towers, antennas and lighthouses were all decimated.

Russian state media showed the arrival of the Ukrainian soldiers in Sevastopol, Crimea where they are being held.
