It does look like Ykpania, but it is not. I believe that is the mistake people are making. I am not sure where they are from, but they are not Ukranian.
Quote: Also the first date on the stamps - November 1920 - is when the Ukraine was occupied by Soviet forces.
To be even more precise, the 21st of November 1920 is the date that the army and leadership of the Ukrainian National Republic crossed the border into Poland and went into exile. These are Government in Exile stamps. They remained in exile until the 1990s.
Ukrainska is not misspeled with the letter "t" in the first example, as someone stated... it is not the letter "t", but "i" with 2 dots, in the linguistics known as diaresis or umlaut.
