Ukrainians queue for hours to get stamp saying ‘Russian warship, go f*** yourself’

Thousands of Ukrainians have waited in long queues to buy postage stamps showing a soldier giving the middle finger to Russia’s flagship that sunk earlier this month.

Some have waited hours in line for the sheets – with eight stamps on each – that say on the perforated margin: “Russian warship, go ...!” The implied “f*** yourself” is left out.

The words were spoken by Ukrainian border guard Roman Hrybov when the Moskva warship’s crew asked him and a dozen of his colleagues on Snake Island, in the Black Sea, to surrender.
