New Ukraine Stamp Shows F-16s Rubbing Out Kremlin
Ukraine's latest postage stamp features F-16 fighter jets grinding the Kremlin into dust.
The stamp is a powerful symbol of Ukraine's resistance to Russian aggression.
Ukraine has issued a new postage stamp featuring United States F-16 fighter jets rubbing out the Kremlin. The stamp is a powerful symbol of Ukraine's resistance to Russian aggression and its hopes for a Western ally to provide it with the jets it needs.
The stamp depicts a Kremlin tower being destroyed by a grater with fighter jet-shaped holes. The stamp was designed by Ukrainian artist Oleksiy Bondarenko and is being sold for 18 hryvnias (about $0.50). The stamp is part of a series of stamps issued by Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
The previous stamp in the series featured a Ukrainian soldier destroying a Russian tank. That stamp was also designed by Bondarenko and sold out within hours of its release.
The F-16 is a single-engine, multirole fighter jet that is considered one of the most advanced in the world. The jet is capable of carrying a variety of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and bombs. The F-16 has been used by the United States Air Force since the 1970s and has been sold to more than 25 countries around the world.
Ukraine has been asking the United States to provide it with F-16s since the Russian invasion began. The United States has not yet agreed to provide the jets, but the new stamp is a sign that Ukraine is still hopeful that it will receive them.
