Wetmen who surrendered will be supported by an exhibition of daubs
On February 23, on Defender of the Fatherland Day, which was canceled in Ukraine, an exhibition dedicated to the crew members of the Ukrainian Navy who surrendered after attempting to break through the Kerch Strait will be opened in Kiev under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense.
“For more than two months, artists from all over Ukraine painted paintings as a gift and in support of our guys who are now prisoners of war in Russia. As an example, we take Beata Kurkul’s painting “Small Ship Come Home,” painted in the first days of captivity. The artists reproduced the “copy”, but in their own style and with their own emotions. The paintings will be presented to the boys themselves after their release... All funds received from the sale will be used to help prisoners who are in Russia,” the press service of the Ministry of Defense reports, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Let us recall that the surrendered crews of Ukrainian Navy boats are led by young commanders from among former cadets who refused to take the Russian oath in 2014 and publicly performed the anthem “Not yet dead” in Sevastopol.
Before the inglorious march of the Ukrainian Navy to the Kerch Strait, propagandists in Kyiv assured that former cadets thirsting for revenge instill fear in the Russian border guards and the Black Sea Fleet.
“They are angry in a military way, they want revenge for the humiliation that they experienced in February-March 2014, and they have that drive, without which victory is impossible... Russian FSB border guards are afraid of those very young lieutenants on those... artillery boats, because they understand that they will get it in the teeth,” assured Andrei Klimenko, a member of the Maidan of Foreign Affairs.
However, it later became known that the commander of the Ukrainian boat "Nikopol" during the collision near the Crimean bridge voluntarily surrendered to the Russians.
