They should definitely sell this world-wide. It would be such a great opportunity to support Ukraine.

Ukraine should sell these on the web for all to purchase, so we can buy them in the U.S. We are praying you get to make that victory stamp! Slava Ukraini

The sinking of the Moskva also symbolizes the sinking of Russia.

Who else wants one of those shirts besides me? I’m guessing there’s millions of people in at least 30 countries who would also buy them.
