Bile, Military settlement on Snake Island, Ukraine
The settlement of Bile occupies a position on Snake Island in the Black Sea, extending across 0.17 square kilometers near the Danube Delta.
The establishment of Bile in 2007 marked Ukraine's strategic response to territorial disputes with Romania regarding maritime boundaries in the Black Sea region.
Military personnel stationed in Bile maintain a monument dedicated to 25 Russian sailors who perished during the 1905 Russo-Japanese War conflict.
The settlement functions primarily as a military outpost, featuring basic infrastructure and technical facilities for personnel conducting operations on Snake Island.
Bile stands as the sole settlement on Snake Island, operating without natural freshwater sources and relying on external supply channels for basic necessities.
