Global Historic Moments of the American & Global Presidency Coin Collection

Coin #9
“Snake Island”
Honoring The Ukrainian Resistance Against the Russian Invasion at Snake Island


Coin #9 honors the Ukrainian Resistance against the Russian invasion at Snake Island. On February 24^th, 2022 Snake Island was targeted on the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Located in the Black Sea, and also known as Zmiinyi Island, the attack was widely publicized when an audio clip of the Russian cruiser Moskva commanding Ukrainian soldiers to surrender was infamously replied to with “Russian warship, go f**k yourself!”. The response went viral, as many believed the soldiers to have been killed in action. Later on, it emerged that a civilian search and rescue ship trying to evacuate the soldiers was also captured along with the Snake Island soldiers.

On March 24^th, 2022 Sapfir and 19 Ukrainian civilians sailors were released by Russia in a prisoner exchange. Deputy Prime Minister Vereschchuk of Ukraine has recently stated that they are working towards the release of the Snake Island prisoners.
