Patrol police in the Mykolayiv region shouted a famous chant, which has already become a meme in a video address to the Russian invaders.

Details: The video showed police officers lined up and shouting in unison, "Russian ship, go to hell" [Russkiy korabl’ idi na**y]
Context: During the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a Russian warship approached Zmiyiniy (Snake) Island in the Black Sea and suggested that the Ukrainian border guards deployed there lay down their arms and surrender.
The Ukrainian servicemen gave them a pithy reply: "Russian military ship, go to hell!" [Russkiy voenniy korabl’ idi na**y].
