Ukraine Post (Ukrposhta) is planning to release a 3rd stamp since Russia’s invasion. The stamps topic will be"Good Evening, We Are From Ukraine!". Ukraine Post is accepting votes from interested persons from around the world to choose a design on this theme for the 3rd issue. Of the about 1500 submissions received, there is a choice between 5 designs. Below are images of these final 5 designs and the vote can be registered on the official Ukraine Post Facebook page. Voting will close on 15 June, and the stamp is scheduled to be released in July.
I think it would be cool if the USA were to issue a Ukrainian semipostal stamp which contributes part of its funds to special causes. I think the process takes anywhere from 3 to 5 years for a new stamp so I don’t know if it would be feasible.
You could get into contact with @Pigglet who hosts the Socially Good Cards RR . There is already a group for peace cards and a group for charity stamps. I’m sure she will be happy to open a group to combine them for you or to open a group for support of the Ukraine in general. You would have to discuss the details with her.
I really hope other countries will follow. A few days ago I had asked Deutsche Post about it but they answered that they aren’t planning any series to issue. Sometimes I really hate dt Post.
Aktuell haben wir keine solche Sonderbriefmarke geplant. Aber es ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass sich dies demnächst ändert. [EN: We currently have no such commemorative stamp planned. But it cannot be ruled out that this will change in the near future.]
I’d say it’s very unlikely that we would get a Ukraine stamp in the UK. They decide on the designs a couple of years in advance and the subjects have to be of national importance with a uniquely British aspect. We’ve only just had a covid stamp issued, 2 years after the start of the pandemic… which is so slow…
I voted for the RR.But there are not enough countries issue that topic of the stamps.Better way is to open an independent thread in Postcard or Stamp section for RR.
