This was announced on the air of the telethon by the head of the press center of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine, Natalia Gumenyuk.

But seeing the threat of how applicable our weapons with the approach of their planes, they adjusted their intentions, and so far they are staying away, ”she said.
Meanwhile, the White House Gift Shop released a collectible coin dedicated to the defenders of Serpent Island.
The coin costs $100, it is delivered free of charge to buyers from Ukraine and NATO countries, and 20% of sales will be spent on helping Ukrainian women and children.
Recall that the battle for the island, which continued from the first days of the great war of Russia against Ukraine, ended at the end of June with the victory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – the Russians were forced to climb off the island due to heavy losses caused by the fire of Ukrainian units. In Russia, they explained this as a “gesture of goodwill”, which did not prevent their planes from shelling Zmeiny already on July 1. It turned out unsuccessfully and Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny explained that the Russians were trying in this way to eliminate the remnants of their own equipment, which they did not have time to evacuate from the island.
Subsequently, information appeared that the Armed Forces of Ukraine fixed the national flag on the island, but the military explained that they simply dropped it on Zmeiny in order to install it in safer conditions.
