12 Ukrainian stamps featuring ‘Russian warship, go fuck yourself’ moment up for auction to raise funds to support humanitarian appeal
The Guardian has been given 12 special edition Ukrainian stamps depicting the moment when a Ukrainian border guard defied a Russian warship with some salty language. The stamps, issued in mid-April by the Ukrainian national postal service, seem destined to become essential war memorabilia, epitomising the attitude of the courageous Ukrainian underdog in its struggle against the invader.
The Guardian now intends to run a Fundraising Event to award these commemorative items to the highest bidders, to raise funds to help Ukraine rebuild, and support millions of people displaced by the Russian onslaught.
