EETA: iirc, when they issued the “Russian Warship, go fuck yourself!” stamp, it was only available in-person from the Ukraine post offices and they sold out rapidly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did this in part to give citizens a valuable asset they could sell in times of need. Just read what @chicagobee said.

ETA: Just checked eBay and there are loads of the first set available. No word on authenticity, but there’s almost certainly a market.

Get the stamp here…

It’s legit from the Ukranian post office. I got the warship stamps and a hat last year.

eta: ukrposhta_jsc is the official post office ebay seller/store.

That’s awesome. And supporting the post office is probably at least as good a thing to support in Ukraine as anything else, maybe more so.

Edit: I bought ten sheets. But it took me a while to feel confident that it really was the official post office account. The post office’s web page does mention that they are on eBay, but they fail to give their username, and the link is 404. Canadian Stamp News does say it’s them, as does a random Reddit account. I decided to trust Canadian Stamp News, though I wish there were another source.
