Despite seemingly impossible odds of resisting Russia's vast military, many Ukrainians are still unwilling to yield in the face of an overwhelming invasion.

There are already plans to posthumously honour a group of Ukrainian border guards who reportedly told an officer on board a Russian navy warship to "go f- yourself" when asked to surrender.

The 13 border guards were defending the tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea during Russia's multi-pronged invasion.

All died after the Russians reportedly launched a strike on the island when the Ukrainian troops refused to surrender. Dawna Friesen looks at how civilians and soldiers alike are standing their ground.
