"So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." JFK, June 10, 1963.

Cool New Ukrainian Folk Song by Mad Heads Celebrates The Sinking of The Russian Warship "Moskva"
Go! Where you have been sent to!Go! To the bottom where you belong!Take all your zombies with you!Oh the ship, the ship "Moskva" burn in the hellish fire!Oh the ship, the ship "Moskva" burn in hell forever!
"The fact the flagship sank is very symbolic and good sign of where all this Russian military 'machine' and whole regime is going...", Vadym Krasnooky, lead singer of Mad Heads.
On 8 March, the Ukrainian postal service launched a contest in which artist Boris Groh's design received the most votes.[1][3]
The stamps feature a drawing of a Ukrainian soldier presenting the middle finger to the Russian cruiser Moskva.[4] The overall layout with the ochre land underneath the blue sea mimics the colors of the Flag of Ukraine. The special postmark accompanying the stamp shows the outline of Snake Island. The stamp design is available in both domestic and foreign version. President Zelenskyy had his picture taken with the stamps and commented that Russian warships should only sail in one direction.[5]
The soldier from whom the radio message is said to have come is Roman Hrybov. He and the head of the Ukrainian Post Office, Ihor Smyljanskyj, signed the first special envelopes with the stamps at the Kyiv Main Post Office.[1][6]
Moskva sank on April 14, two days after the stamp was issued.[7]
