American drone, go… - Russia issues stamp, design stolen from Ukrainian Post Office 

Ukrainian activist Serhii Sternenko drew attention to this.

The Russians copied the famous Ukrainian stamp, adapting it to their own needs. The subject of the plagiarism was the Ukrainian postal service Ukrposhta stamp "Russian warship, go…!" issued in Ukraine on April 12, 2022.

The Ukrposhta stamp was created by Boris Groh and is dedicated to the sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva. The phrase printed on the stamp is a quote from Roman Hrybov, a brave border guard from Zmiinyi Island, who on February 24, 2022, sent the cruiser in response to a demand to surrender during an assault.

On the plagiarized Russian stamp, a soldier shows the middle finger not to the cruiser Moskva but to an American drone. At the top of the stamp is an inscription: "American drone, go..." in Russian and English.

The Russian stamp is dedicated to the downing of an American drone in the Black Sea: an American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drone was shot down by a Russian Su-27 fighter jet. The incident occurred southeast of Snake Island in international airspace.
