Add these mint stamp and sheets, issued in 2022 and 2023, to your collection.  Ukraine War stamps do triple duty:  they inspire Ukrainians, bring international media attention to Ukraine and promote support from other countries, AND they help Ukrainians earn money as they sell stamps to folks like Mystic.  Mystic president, Don Sundman, said of the Ukraine War stamps "I've never seen stamps used so effectively during a war to support a country."

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and began a war. Ukraine’s postal administration, Ukrposhta, has issued many stamps in support of the war effort and to honor those who are fighting for their nation’s freedom.

Here are some of the stamps and sheets you’ll receive:

Snake Island “F*** Russians – on the first day of the Russian invasion, soldiers on Ukraine's Snake Island were under threat by the Russian warship Moskva.  The ship demanded the Ukrainian marines surrender to them, but one soldier radioed the ship saying, "Russian warship, go f*** yourself."
That soldier's defiance became world-famous, and Ukraine went on to picture his likeness on two postage stamps.  This turned out to be a brilliant move by Ukraine.  The stamps quickly became sought-after within Ukraine and around the world.  They sold out in no time, capturing media attention and raising $135,000 for Ukraine's Army.

Weapons of Victory - This stamp sheet pictures Ukrainian and foreign weapons being used to fight back against Russia.  Includes Ukrainian, American, and Turkish weapons.  Ukraine's postal service said of the stamps "it is more important than ever to show respect and support to the military, who tirelessly defend the borders and repel enemy attacks." 

Warriors of Light, Warriors of Good - This sheet pays tribute to the people who work tirelessly to repair Ukraine's infrastructure after it's been damaged or destroyed by Russian attacks. The blue background and yellow lights represent the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The selvage includes an image of a map of Ukraine with silhouettes of aircraft flying overhead. "Warriors of Light" commemorates the bravery of all those working to keep the lights on in Ukraine. 

Fighters of Evil: F-16 Jets 'Rubbing Out' Kremlin - The “Fighters of Evil” stamp design pictures the silhouettes of American F-16 fighter jets on a grater with Russia's Kremlin being shredded to pieces by the jets.  The stamp was intended as a plea to the United States to send F-16s to Ukraine to potentially help turn the tide of the war in Ukraine's favor.  The design was created by Maksym Palenko and reflects the worldwide effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine. 

Tribute to Ukraine Security Services - According to Ukraine's postal service, this stamp is “dedicated to the defenders of Ukraine, who are defending the sacred Ukrainian land, and to those who gave their lives defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.”  The stamp design was created by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Okhapkin and gives a face to those fighting for their homeland.  It's also a way to inspire people from other nations around the world to help support Ukraine in whatever way they can.

Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense - According to Ukraine's postal service, this stamp is dedicated to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.  It is especially intended for the special units "Kraken," "Shaman," and the International Legion "which gave a worthy rebuff to the Moscow invaders" at the beginning of the war.  The stamp design was also created by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Okhapkin.

These stamps reflect the patriotism and endurance of the Ukrainian people in the face of a powerful invader. You can add all the mint stamps and sheets to your collection at once. Order yours today.
