Ukrainians also celebrated Russian battlefield setbacks by making memes and an NFT of the recaptured oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk.
As news emerged of the sinking of the Moskva — for which Ukrainian officials claimed responsibility — the stamp quickly became a hot commodity. Sellers on eBay are asking for as much as $2,500 for the stamp, and the value probably will rise, as there are no plans for new releases, said Igor Smelyansky, director of Ukraine’s postal service.
“I want to thank once again all the tens of thousands of people who came to us in Kyiv and other cities to buy our ‘ship’ stamp,” Smelyansky wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “Not without mistakes, but we did our best to ensure that most people got it.” The postal operator may soon sell other memorabilia, such as T-shirts, featuring the illustration, he added.
Ukrainians formed long lines outside a Kyiv post office on April 14 to buy stamps of a Ukrainian border guard displaying his middle finger to a Russian warship.
