Russian warship

On the first day of Russia's war against Ukraine, February 24, the Russian occupiers attacked Snake Island, where 13 Ukrainian border guards were stationed. The occupiers tried to intimidate the Ukrainians and called on them to surrender. The response of our defenders was laconic – they told the Russian invaders where to go. This is how the legendary phrase was born, which now symbolises Ukrainian resilience and indomitability – "Russian warship, go f*ck yourself".

The Russian warship now definitely knows the right direction

The recording from Snake Island demonstrated that Russians are not welcome on Ukrainian land. The occupiers received exhaustive coordinates from the Ukrainian defenders but, unfortunately, for some reason have still not headed there. Snake Island is currently captured by the invaders, and the 13 hero border guards are in captivity.

But the phrase became iconic in record time – all of Ukraine addresses the Russian occupiers with these words and is not ashamed to use obscene language towards the invaders.

Russian infantry, Russian military equipment, Russian politicians and ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation are being sent after the Russian ship not only by ordinary residents, but also by officials.

The unofficial "Russian warship…" flash mob has been joined by:

• Ukrainian politicians;

• Shops;

• Banners and billboards;

• Foreign citizens;

• Volunteer and civic organisations;

• Post offices, enterprises, banks and many others.

In particular, the phrase "Russian warship, go f*ck yourself" began to appear on the websites of large Ukrainian companies. "Nova Poshta", "Uklon", "OLX" and other organisations expressed support for the Ukrainian military. Monobank also joined in – you can now have "Russian ship, go f*ck yourself" in your e-wallet. Now every card has a patriotic design – the Monobank "Russian ship…" card is available to all bank users by default. You can change it in the card design settings.

The Russian warship is being told where to go in every city of Ukraine

Almost every city and settlement in the country has joined in supporting the Ukrainian border guards. The phrase from the Snake Island recording now adorns banners – both homemade and advertising ones. Printing companies have joined the campaign, and now the legendary phrase "Russian warship, go f*ck yourself" can be seen anywhere in Ukraine. Ukrainian artists and designers are also working on the iconic phrase – every day high-quality illustrations and emblems with the "Russian ship" appear online.

The Russian warship did not know where it was heading and whom it had come to. Ukrainians pointed the occupier in the right direction and do not forget the heroes who were not afraid of the enemy at the most difficult time. Now the phrase "Russian warship, go f*ck yourself" is a symbol of the courage and indomitability of the Ukrainian people.
