The Guardian has been given 12 special edition Ukrainian stamps depicting the moment when a Ukrainian border guard defied a Russian warship with some salty language. The stamps, issued in mid-April by the Ukrainian national postal service, seem destined to become essential war memorabilia, epitomising the attitude of the courageous Ukrainian underdog in its struggle against the invader.
The Guardian now intends to run a Fundraising Event to award these commemorative items to the highest bidders, to raise funds to help Ukraine rebuild, and support millions of people displaced by the Russian onslaught.
By completing and submitting the information below, you are placing a bid for 1 of 12 special edition Ukrainian commemorative stamps. The total amount of the highest bids of 12 individual bidders that we collect will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
We will only use the information you provide to us for the purpose of this Fundraising Event. We will delete any information when we no longer require it for this purpose. For more information please see the terms and conditions and our privacy policy.
