"Ukrposhta" has issued a limited edition stamp in support of disqualified Vladyslav Heraskevych

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was suspended before the first run of the 2026 Games for refusing to remove a helmet featuring images of athletes killed in the war. This event gained international attention, and Ukrainian Olympians expressed their support for the athlete. Many brands sent gifts to the athlete. The CEO of Ukrposhta, Ihor Smilyanskyi, also decided to join the general initiative, but did so in an unusual way.

“We want to officially dedicate this stamp to our Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych! Since we are not a private business, we cannot make direct donations or provide charitable assistance, as this would reduce budget revenues (and we know that taxes are sacred). However, we have produced 50 unique numbered stamps, which we will transfer to Vladyslav free of charge. I believe that with his signature, he will be able to raise some funds at auctions. The rest of the print run can already be purchased via the link. If you want to send it to someone abroad, we will also help,” said Ihor Smilyanskyi.
