Ihor Smelyansky, head of Ukraine’s state-owned postal service, said that Ukrposhta would issue postal stamps featuring “what has remained” of the Crimean Bridge. Smelyansky said they have been preparing the stamp for a long time and plan to sell 7 million such stamps for Hr 18 ($0.48) each. An explosion took place around 6 a.m. on Oct. 8 at the bridge, which links the occupied peninsula with Russia.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
