The Guardian: A woman is being hailed on social media after she confronted a heavily armed Russian soldier and offered him sunflower seeds – so that flowers would grow if he died there on Ukraine’s soil.
“Take these seeds and put them in your pockets so at least sunflowers will grow.”
“From this moment you are cursed.”
A Russian warship on Thursday radioed the 13 Ukrainian border guards on tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea, reports say, demanding they lay down their weapons and surrender:
“I am a Russian warship,” a voice from the invaders said, according to a recording of the communications. “I ask you to lay down your arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary deaths. Otherwise, you will be bombed.”
The Ukrainians responded boldly.
“Russian warship,” came the reply, “go f— yourself.”
