For the withdrawal operation, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that this was to express Russia's "goodwill gesture". The Russian Ministry of Defense said: "The Russian Federal Armed Forces completed the mission on Snake Island and withdrew from the troops stationed on the island to show friendship. Organize the efforts of the humanitarian corridor. "

According to reports, Snake Island has a flat terrain and lack of cover. The land area is only 0.17 square kilometers, which is a typical easy attack and difficulty. It is 140 kilometers from Odessa, an important port city in southern Ukraine, and only 35 kilometers away from the nearest Ukrainian coast, which has considerable strategic significance.

The Ukrainian military claimed to send fighter aircraft and drones to the island's Russian army a serious loss, while the Russian side stated that the Russian army had defeated Ukraine's offensive, which caused the enemy to suffer heavy losses.
