The island was not worth keeping. You would like to emphasize that rock over the action in the Donbas, where the breakaway republics and Russia are in the process of taking most of the Ukraine industrial heartland, as evidenced by taking of the giant chemical plant in Severodonetsk and now in the process taking the oil refinery town of Lysychansk with a pincher movement about to trap several Ukraine army groups. Thousands of the best Ukraine troops are at extreme risk of complete encirclement right now. Crow about that rock if you like.Lets hope the Ukrane troops escape, but it does not look good. Seems like they are being told to stand and fight from indefensible positions for political reasons.
