New stamp celebrates defiant defenders of Snake Island | CTV News in Kyiv

Following the sinking of Russia’s Black Sea flagship, Ukraine has released a stamp celebrating the defiant soldiers of Snake Island, who told the vessel to "go f*** yourself" when the Moskva called on them to surrender.

CTV National News' Daniele Hamamdjian speaks with Ukrainians who've lined up to get a piece of history.

Those soldiers never died.
There were 87 of them and they are POWs, alive and well...

[nathandennis]

But the Ukrainians did surrender, all 82 of them.

Except they all surrendered and none were killed …..

[dizzyaugustopherag]

Only one problem, it isn't true, they all peacefully surrendered and we're returned to the mainland safe and sound. What's next guys? The ghost of Kiev stamp?

[tammykrzyski]

It’s a nice story but it isn’t real. They surrendered.

A stamp celebrating something that never happened . What is next a stamp celebrating the gulf of Tonkin incident ?

This is hilarious. Hasn't Russia invaded? This looks chill. And didn't all those dudes on snake island surrender? Strange times.

Hopefully ALL the proceeds from the sales of the stamps go to help the ppl in the hardest hit parts of Ukraine. My bank, in another country, gave a million dollars for humanitarian aid to Ukraine . Yet foreclosed on how many ppl homes of Canadians that couldn't work b/c the pandamic lockdown.
