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.

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.

Ukraine’s national postal service Ukrposhta released the design last week as a special commemorative stamp. About a million printed stamps will be distributed in Ukraine, in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia – such as Crimea – and online, including to foreign buyers."...
