By Dracula

It was pronounced the verdict in The Hague.

"Snake Island, also known as Serpent Island , lies in the Black Sea off the coasts of Romania and Ukraine.
The territorial limits of the continental shelf around Snake Island was delineated by the International Court of Justice on 3 February 2009."(wiki)

"Until 1948, Snake Island was considered part of the Romanian coastal city of Sulina. In 1948, the Soviets forced the Romanian side (occupied by Soviet troops) to accept the "transfer" of Snake Island to the USSR, as well as to accept to move the Romanian border in the Danube Delta towards the west, in favour of the USSR (resulting in the annexation of Limba Island by the USSR). Romania has strongly disputed the validity of this "treaty", since it was never ratified by any of the two countries, which would make the Limba and Snake islands de jure Romanian territory.

The same year, in 1948, during the Cold War, a Soviet radar post was built on the isle (for both naval and anti-aircraft purposes)."(wiki)

Romania won 80% of the area is in dispute with Ukraine, the total area is 12,000 square km.
A This represents an important energy resource, with reserves of 100 billion cubic meters of gas and 10 million tons of oil.
I wonder where are those reserves, I hope that the remaining 20% of Ukraine.

What will happen to Achilles's grave ?

Although the Romanians get the major share of the Island, the issue of natural resources still has to be negotiated. I hope they come to an equitable agreement, because it can help both countries.
