Humiliation for Putin as Russian troops FLEE from Snake Island days after Ukraine bombarded Black Sea outpost as Kyiv celebrates retreat with 'KABOOM!' message and Kremlin calls withdrawal a 'gesture of goodwill'
Russian defence ministry confirmed the withdrawal of forces from Snake Island in a major blow to Putin's war
But defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov passed the retreat off as a 'gesture of goodwill' to 'stop speculation' over Kyiv's inability to export vital grain via Black Sea amid an escalating global food crisis
The sensational retreat comes days after Ukraine launched a rocket assault on the island's Russian positions
Ukraine's missiles destroyed Russian anti-aircraft systems, radar stations and vehicles in a crippling strike
The island is a favourable strategic outpost which sits roughly 80 miles off Ukraine's southern coast
