Timelapse shows hundreds of Ukrainians queuing to buy stamp honouring Snake Island defiance

A timelapse video captured hundreds of Ukrainians forming a long queue outside Kyiv's main post office on Tuesday as they waited to buy postage stamps featuring a Ukrainian soldier making a crude gesture at a Russian ship.

The stamp pays homage to Ukrainian service member Roman Hrybov who was captured by Russian troops on an island after defying Russian forces with the message: 'Russian warship, go fuck yourself'

That stamp will hold it's value better than the Russian Ruble

WOW and not a blown up building or cruise missile striking any building or even a hypersonic rocket overhead - Ukraine has become the most marketable hotspot on the planet!

Okay, I knew the demand for the stamp would be huge, but I didn’t expect it to be THAAAAT HUUUUGE.🤯😲 That is just amazing. I’m betting even the Ukrainian Postal Service will be shocked by how many are bought. That doesn’t even include us I bet who want to buy it overseas. I totally want to be able to buy one.🇺🇦

Queueing for a stamp.. are you serious, what is this a nation of stamp collectors?

[denisep]

Ukrainian people are strong truly remarkable people, I pray this war will end soon the people deserve peace.

[zantas-handle]

Ah yes - do you remember all those images of Afghans queuing for stamps whilst their country was in the middle of a war?

[Phil_Vaughan]

All those fighting age men in the queue, mmm?

'"Daddy, there are Russian soldiers invading, missiles destroying buildings, people being shot! What shall we do? Evacuate? Go hide in the basement? Run for the hills?"
"No. Let's go stand in a long queue outside to get some stamps."
"But isn't that dangerous?"
_Apparently not_

I think a stamp
Is least of their issues

[kathyandersen]

I'd love to pay for a letter from a Citizen from Ukraine with an unused stamp inside an envelope with a Postmark from hopefully a new Penpal, , a generous donation in return to support the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Who else is on board for that?
Best Artwork on a Ukraine stamp!!!

I wonder what these stamps will be worth in a few years. People often queue to buy things they think will increase in value.

[macklee]

I thought they were under constant shelling?

[realorfakenews]

Why haven’t the Palestinians got the same rights? Very confusing

[murphytoonz]

Hey guardian. You know this is nonsense. You know we know that you know this is nonsense. Still you persist. Are you even the least bit ashamed ?

[johndela]

Really dosent look like a war zone to me seriously how do you have time to stand about and be bombed to oblivion simultaneously?

[realorfakenews]

What’s the difference between Palestine and Ukraine. Palestinians have been suffering for 73 years

[worklive]

I see they have their priorities straight. Nothing better than a bit of useless material tat.

Я укранец. Ценность марки в том что она была напечатана за два дня до потопления того самого крейсера который был еще в начале войны отправлен все знают куда. В количестве 1 000 000 . Их больше печетать небудут Ета марка пророческая и поетому она уникальная.

I am Ukrainian. The value of the stamp is that it was printed two days before the sinking of the very cruiser that was sent at the beginning of the war, everyone knows where. In the amount of 1, 000, 000. They will not be printed again. This brand is prophetic and therefore it is unique.

The first stamp was about defiance to the Moskva.
The next one will be about sinking the Moskva.
I guess next will be the liberation of Moskva?
