Banksy's Ukraine Stamp

To mark the grim first anniversary of Russia's attempted invasion and ongoing war, Ukraine has issued a postage stamp featuring an image of a Banksy mural the artist created on a demolished wall in the battered city of Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv. The mural depicts a David and Goliath moment: a young boy uses a Judo flip on a larger, older man who resembles a certain leader...and in fact, the Cyrillic on the stamp translates as "FCK PTN."

Keep flippin' 'em Ukraine, the world stands with you, waiting for the tyrant to fall.


As far as I can understand, the stamps are available for purchase on the Ukraine postal service site. All proceeds go to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
