93	Ukraine - "Russian warship, go f* yourself!" Souvenir Sheet" One of the most popular rallying cries of the Ukrainian resistance emerged early in the war, when soldiers stationed on a Black Sea military outpost called Snake Island responded to Russian troops' calls to surrender with a few choice words: "Russian warship, go f* yourself!" The incident has been memorialized in a special postage stamp, which proud Ukrainians lined up en masse to buy. The stamp honors the Ukrainian soldiers who profanely told off a Russian warship. The Ukrainian Postal Service (Ukrposhta) held a postage stamp competition to commemorate the soldiers, who were initially believed to have been killed but were actually held captive and released in a prisoner swap in late March. The winning design, as chosen by social media voters, was announced in March and issued in April. It shows a lone Ukrainian soldier standing on shore, raising a middle finger at a looming gray warship in the water. Artist Boris Groh said he was so impressed by the soldiers' refusal to surrender that he decided to submit an illustration to lift morale. He told the postal service that it took him three days to complete the sketch, but he could have done it in five hours if he hadn't been distracted by the news. This sheet is presently selling on eBay for up to $300.00 a sheet. The "W" rate is the original rate for this stamp a later 'F" rate also exists, as do large numbers of non-genuine reproduction "labels".T his sheet is the real deal, a limited issue slice of modern history! We will be donating the proceeds of the sale of this lot to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Victoria which has several programs set up to aid the Ukraine and refugee Ukrainian citizens.	$150.00	$230.00 3501

Ukraine - "Russian warship, go f*** yourself!" Souvenir Sheet" One of the most popular rallying cries of the Ukrainian resistance emerged early in the war, when soldiers stationed on a Black Sea military outpost called Snake Island responded to Russian troops' calls to surrender with a few choice words: "Russian warship, go f*** yourself!" The incident has been memorialized in a special postage stamp, which proud Ukrainians lined up en masse to buy. The stamp honors the Ukrainian soldiers who profanely told off a Russian warship. The Ukrainian Postal Service (Ukrposhta) held a postage stamp competition to commemorate the soldiers, who were initially believed to have been killed but were actually held captive and released in a prisoner swap in late March. The winning design, as chosen by social media voters, was announced in March and issued in April. It shows a lone Ukrainian soldier standing on shore, raising a middle finger at a looming gray warship in the water. Artist Boris Groh said he was so impressed by the soldiers' refusal to surrender that he decided to submit an illustration to lift morale. He told the postal service that it took him three days to complete the sketch, but he could have done it in five hours if he hadn't been distracted by the news. This sheet is presently selling on eBay for up to $300.00 a sheet. The "W" rate is the original rate for this stamp a later 'F" rate also exists, as do large numbers of non-genuine reproduction "labels".T his sheet is the real deal, a limited issue slice of modern history! We will be donating the proceeds of the sale of this lot to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Victoria which has several programs set up to aid the Ukraine and refugee Ukrainian citizens.
