To mark the one-year date of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the country released a new Bansky postage stamp that seems to mock Russian President Putin.
Taken from a Banksy mural painting discovered in Kyiv, the drawing depicts a young boy executing a judo throw known as a “floating drop” against a man who looks suspiciously like Russia’s president Vladimir Putin.
The mural is one of seven that the mysterious artist, Banksy, has painted around the bombed-out Capitol city in Ukraine.
Residents of Kyiv swarmed the city’s main post office on Friday to stock up on the stamps, which, in addition to the provocative mural, have the phrase “FCK PTN” written in ‘Cyrillic’ in the lower left corner.
This will hurt the Russian leader in a roundabout way since Putin is an avid Judo master but was stripped of his title of honorary president of the International Judo Federation early last year after his country invaded peaceful Ukraine.
