The first word is the adjective йобана, synonym to їбана, which comes from the verb їбати, meaning to fuck (as in copulation). This can be translated as "fucking" and is often used as an intensifier, as it is in English.

The next word is the adjective блядьска which comes from the noun блядь, meaning whore. The word блядь is often used as an interjection (much like "fuck" in English), and its adjectival derivative блядьска is used as an intensifier, just like "fucking" in English.

Next up is the noun русня which is a derogatory and/or dismissive term, but basically a synonym to росіяни, which simply means "russians" (as in russian people).

Next up is здохни which is the second person present imperative form of the verb здохнути, which is a somewhat vulgar synonym of умирати, which means to die (a bit like "to croak" is a somewhat vulgar alternative of "to die" in English).

Last but not least we have the classic нахуй which is a combination of на (to/towards, on) and хуй (vulgar term for phallus, like dick/cock/etc). It is best known from the phrase иди нахуй which literally means "go to the dick" but is better understood as "fuck off".

Putting it all together now we have "fucking fucking russians die to the dick" or more idomatically "fucking whore-ass russians fuck off and die".
