On Monday, the Ukrainian Navy released a statement indicating at least some of the border guards are alive after surrendering to Russian forces.

***ORIGINAL REPORT***

Despite seemingly impossible odds of resisting Russia's vast military, many Ukrainians are still unwilling to yield in the face of an overwhelming invasion.

There are already plans to posthumously honour a group of Ukrainian border guards who reportedly told an officer on board a Russian navy warship to "go f--- yourself" when asked to surrender.

The 13 border guards were defending the tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea during Russia's multi-pronged invasion.
