Thanks for that Rob. Things have moved on a bit since this was written. The Western leadership has gone full-bore crazy. There seem to be no sensible leadership anywhere in the West and it shows as their credibility is destroyed in ways that seemed impossible just two years ago.
No one talks about it anymore. I can't even remember who controls the island now; it's not really defendable. The island is also known as Serpent Island or Zmiiny Island. Many Ukrainians were killed trying to defend it and it was a big headline grabber for them.

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then.
I didn’t know there was a ‘Battle of Snake Island’, much less that the Ukrainians suffered so many casualties.
