Postage stamps raising funds for Ukrainian military efforts
Quote:The final stamp of the series doesn’t mince words—or visuals. It commemorates a mural Banksy recently stencil-tagged on a wall in Borodyanka, a small town about 30 miles northwest of Kyiv. In the mural, the anonymous British street artist depicts a judo match where a young boy flips an older man on his back—a sly reference to Russia president Vladimir Putin’s black belt in judo. The David-and-Goliath metaphor is clear enough, but Ukrposhta immortalized Ukraine’s steely resolve by adding the letters “FCK PTN” in Cyrillic in the stamp’s bottom left corner.
