After spending four hours in a queue, Viktor Fyodorovich showed off his shiny new purchase. “I’m 63 years old. I’ve never felt so much pride before in our nation. It’s a symbol of our courage and steadfastness,” he said.
Fyodorovich was the proud owner of two sheets of stamps, 16 in total. Available from Kyiv’s central post office, the stamps show a Ukrainian soldier giving the finger to the flagship Russian cruiser Moskva. On the sheet’s perforated margin is the phrase that has become a rallying slogan for Ukrainians in their underdog battle against Moscow: “Russian warship, go …!” The “fuck yourself” is tactfully omitted.

Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom—While Johnson has gone to Kyiv and been publicly supportive of Zelensky and Ukraine and Britain has provided some important weapons systems to Ukraine, Britain’s leader loses points for his country’s foot dragging when it comes to accepting Ukrainian refugees. This is perhaps consistent with Britain’s otherwise pretty repulsive immigration policies but at this moment of great need, it is a clear failing in the country’s Ukraine policies. (Grade: B)
