‘Let’s help them go straight to hell:’ Ukrainians are told to REMOVE names and numbers from road signs in their cities and villages to ‘confuse and disorient the enemy’

• Ukraine’s government agencies are asking locals to remove all road signs
• The Ministry of Defence has said the move is meant to disorient Russian forces 
• Ukraine’s road sign agency Ukravtodor mocked-up a road sign that reads: ‘F**k off. F**k off again. F**k off to Russia’ in Ukrainian

Ukrainians have been told to remove road signs and land markers by government agencies to ‘confuse and disorient’ invading Russian forces.

The call was posted by the Ministry’s of Defence’s Twitter account on Saturday as fighting around the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv intensifies between the Russian and Ukrainian forces.

The sentiment was echoed by Ukraine’s road sign agency Ukravtodor on their Facebook page alongside a mocked-up road sign that reads: ‘F**k off. F**k off again. F**k off to Russia’ in Ukrainian.

The ministry wrote: ‘In order to confuse and disorient the enemy who is illegally moving to Ukraine, we call: – to remove plaques with numbers and names of streets/cities/villages in their regions.’

The call to remove signs was posted by the Ministry’s Twitter account on Saturday as fighting around the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv intensifies between the Russian and Ukrainian forces.

A sign over a part of the Boryspil highway read: ‘Russian warship, go f**k yourself!’, in reference to the killing of Ukrainian border guards stationed at Snake Island off the coast of Ukraine when they refused to surrender to Kremlin forces

Ukravtodor, the Ukrainian road signs agency, posted a similar request but added a mocked-up road sign that reads: ‘F**k off. F**k off again. F**k off to Russia’ in Ukrainian.

‘We will do everything possible to clear Ukraine of the Russian occupier as soon as possible!’

Ukravtodor said: ‘We dismantle road signs on all roads of the country.

‘Priority #1 – indicative signs, names of settlements. Collected signs are handed over to the local authorities and the passengers.

‘The enemy has a miserable connection, they don’t orientate in the area.

‘Let’s help them go straight to hell.

‘Ukravtodor urges all road organizations, territorial communities, local government authorities to immediately start dismantling nearby road signs.’

The rebuke to Vladimir Putin’s forces comes after reports of a small militia of Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island in the Black Sea defiantly told a Russian warship ‘go f**k yourself’ before they lost their lives defending the land.

The defiance of Snake Island’s defenders has become a catch-all for Ukrainian resistance against Russian aggression.

The phrase was displayed on a digital road sign on a major Ukrainian highway near Boryspil, according to the Kyiv Post, an independent English-language news outlet in the country. 

Defiant president Volodmyr Zelensky has pledged to ‘destroy the occupiers’ as he said his country’s army had successfully repelled Russian forces advancing on Kyiv

Defiant president Volodmyr Zelensky has pledged to ‘destroy the occupiers’ as he said his country’s army had successfully repelled Russian forces advancing on Kyiv.

In a video message to the besieged nation, Zelensky accused the Kremlin of attempting to seize the capital, overthrow the government and install a ‘puppet’ regime ‘like in Donetsk’, one of two separatist regions which warmonger Vladimir Putin officially recognised before launching an all-out invasion.

Declaring ‘we broke their idea’, he added: ‘The fights are going on in many cities and areas of our state. But we know that we are protecting the country, the land, the future of our children. Kyiv and key cities around the capital are controlled by our army.

‘Each Ukrainian should keep one thing in mind: if you can stop and destroy the occupiers – do it. Everyone who can come back to Ukraine – come back to defend Ukraine.’

Meanwhile, a curfew in Kyiv has been imposed until 8am on Monday to ensure the most effective defence of the city and the safety of its people. A previous daily curfew had run from 10pm to 7am.

Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said: ‘All civilians on the street during the curfew will be considered members of the enemy’s sabotage and reconnaissance groups.’

It comes after a high-rise apartment block in Kyiv was hit by a devastating missile this morning, while Ukraine’s civilian death toll hit 198.
