Planet has released their latest satellite imagery of Snake Island, Ukraine. This SkySat imagery of the island, which is a strategic, Black Sea outpost that Russian forces have allegedly abandoned, was captured from June 26 to June 30th., 2022.
According to Reuters, Russian forces abandoned the strategic Black Sea outpost of Snake Island on June 30th in a victory for the Ukraine that could loosen the grip of Russia’s blockade on Ukrainian ports.
Russia said it had decided to withdraw from the outcrop off Ukraine’s southwestern coast as a “gesture of goodwill” to show that Moscow was not obstructing U.N. attempts to open a humanitarian corridor allowing grains to be shipped from Ukraine.
