Ukrainian soldier sacrificed himself to slow Russian Invasion
In an encounter with #Russian military force in #Crimea, the Ukrainians had to destroy a mined bridge in order to prevent some Russian forces from advancing out of Crimea.
Volunteered in this mission, Vitaly Skakun Volodymyrovych, a member of the Ukrainian Marine Corps went alone and had successfully blown up the bridge.
Unfortunately he did not have time to flee the scene, thus sacrificed in the bombing.
His last communication with his task force was ‘Blowing up the bridge’, followed by the bombing, and his tragic perish.
His heroic act had successfully stopped the Russian tanks from moving forward, as well as slowed down their invasion, buying the Ukrainian military more time to plan and defend Russian attacks.
The Ukrainian military reiterated at the end of their announcement that, ‘We will fight as long as we are alive!’

Ukraine Stamp Design Commemorate ‘Russian Warship, Go F*ck Yourself’ Moment
This latest design, showing a soldier giving the middle finger to a Russian warship, was approved by #Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian post office and titled “Russian Warship, Go Fuck Yourself.”

Ukrposhta said that the new stamp is set to encourage Ukrainians to send it to their “friends abroad or send a fiery “hello” to the Russians.”
