The new Ukrposhta stamp depicts ships of the Russian fleet, a third of which have already been destroyed by the Ukrainian defense forces. The issue serves as a continuation of the legendary series "Russian warship... go to the bottom!" and is a kind of prophecy of the death of the remaining ships of the invaders.

Design and artist
Artist of stamps, envelopes, cards and First Day stamp Viktor Grudakov spoke. The postal issue also uses the UAF Sans font by Dmitry Rastvortsev, developed specifically for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Achievements of Ukrainian forces
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces have destroyed a third of the Russian Black Sea fleet, including the large landing ships "Saratov", "Minsk" , "Novocherkassk", "Caesar Kunikov", missile cruiser "Moscow", rescue and tug vessel "Spasatel Vasily Bekh", submarine "Rostov-on-Don" and patrol corvette "Sergei Kotov".
Symbolic meaning
Among the ships depicted on the stamp is the patrol frigate "Admiral Makarov", which remains afloat for now. However, having the experience of releasing a “prophetic” stamp in April 2022, when shortly after the release of the stamp “Russian warship... go to the bottom!” The enemy cruiser Moskva was sunk, Ukrposhta hopes that Admiral Makarov will become the next target and go to the bottom.
