Voice Of America reporter Fatima Tils posted a video showing a Georgian oil tanker refusing to help refuel Russian ships.
According to the video, the Russian ship asked to be refueled, begging, "Come on, let's leave politics aside." The Georgian ship refused, echoing the military message from those who refused to surrender to Russia on Snake Island.
The first few days of the Russian military strikes, the Russian military told the soldiers over an announcement to surrender. The Ukrainian military members replied, "Go f*ck yourself."
The sentiment was echoed this weekend from the Georgians as well. "Russian ship, go f*ck yourself. Glory to Ukraine!"
They went on to tell the Russian ship that they have oars and could row their ship instead.
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday morning that Russia was forced to send three massive natural gas tanker ships near a Kaliningrad outpost that was behind NATO lines so they could refuel.
"It is an apparent move to maintain fuel supplies to the tiny militarized region in case conflict severs pipeline flows," the report explained.

RAW STORY

Vladimir Putin's yacht, Graceful, appears to have a different call sign on a few yacht tracking websites.
As Russian oligarch yachts are being tracked around the world, Putin's luxury boat typically has the call sign UBGV8, according to FleetMon.
But on another website, MarineTraffic, Bloomberg reporter Ryan Gallagher and Good Pillow CEO William LeGate noticed that someone changed the call sign to FCKPTN and its current maritime position is "Hell."
Gallagher tweeted that it was an offshoot group from the hackers Anonymous known as The Anon Leaks,
They "told me they did it by manipulating the maritime 'Automatic Identification System,' which is used to track ship locations," he tweeted. "They said they wanted to put the yacht in the scope of sanction packages as well as 'put a little smile on some faces for a short period in these dark times.'"
The website VesselTracker lists the call sign as ANONYMO.
The yacht left Germany in early February after there were warnings of sanctions.
