Russian Invasion Of Ukraine And Philately

Today, I received a mail item from the UK with a slogan postmark paying attention to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

The Royal Mail Jubilee Mail centre where the slogan postmark has been applied is located near London's Heathrow Airport.

The stamps had been cancelled at Petersfield, Hampshire.
It appears the circular date stamp used at Petersfield has an incorrect '21' date slug for the year. This cancellation was applied inverted.

So cancelled twice?
Petersfield first, then machine?

We are currently trying to contact a lass with 5 kids,
through an Aussie journalist there, for direct monthly support,
which involves problem transferring.
Perhaps airbnb may be an option.
We pray we find her.

I was going through the A Stamp for Every Country album and there is a page with Ukraine issues that seemed coincidental. Since this was created a while back, I have not had a chance to understand what period the exile government existing since no dates given.

For planned invasion,1923

I have an image of the 2500, as Scott #76D 1923

Here is the full set (not mine)


Ukrainian Field Post

Estonia and Latvia will be issuing these stamps.

It, almost, wants to make me go to the Baltics and send my Russian friends postcards with these stamps on them.

Ukrposhta has held a competition (per Business Insider) for a new stamp design. This is apparently the winner with 1700 of about 8000 votes: "Russian warship, go f**ck yourself".

Designed by Boris Groh.

From my LinkedIn feed.

The Ukraine Post Office has withdrawn from sale and destroyed two joint issues between Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Scott # 195, 1994 joint issue marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Soviet areas during World War II and Scott #930, 2013 joint issue honoring the 1,025th anniversary of the Christianization of Russia.
Speculators are causing the cost of these two issues to skyrocket.

That Ukrainian stamp with the Russian warship was issued yesterday. https://www.jpost.com/international/article-704096

In other news, the ship on that stamp, the Moskva from incoming reports might have been just sunk today.

Here is the charity stamp issued by Austria on March 31
"Neighbour in need
Help for Ukraine"


And a stamp issued by Croatia on April 12 ("For peace in Ukraine")

Seriously damaged is the official version at the moment. Apparently, the Black Sea Fleet's flagship Moskva has been evacuated.

Russia confirmed the Moskva has sunk.
