Sushkevych went on to say how difficult it was for some of the athletes to escape the war-torn country due to Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion.

"More than four days and four nights we (took to) come here," he added. "It's a miracle that we're here..."

Sushkevych mentioned that some of the athletes were directly in Russia's firing line as they tried to leave Ukraine.

"Many of our team members had difficulties escaping the bombs," he added.

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.”

The artwork for this stamp was created by Borys Groh to commemorate a Ukrainian soldier’s profane refusal to acquiesce to a Russian warship’s demand to lay down weapons. 

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.”
