Ukrposhta @ukrposhta issued a stamp dedicated to the country's goodest boy — the Jack Russell Terrier, Patron @patron_dsns . It was officially canceled by the President of Ukraine, @zelenskiy_official Volodymyr Zelenskyy, under the watchful eye of the guest of honor. The stamp sheet includes 8 different postage stamps depicting Patron, who has helped rescuers discover dozens of explosive devices during this ongoing war with russia. The stamp costs 31 UAH; of which the charitable amount is 8 UAH. The proceeds will be transferred via UNITED24 to purchase an Armtrac 400 demining vehicle. The rest of the funds will be donated to animal shelters, via the KSE Foundation. By purchasing a stamp with the most famous, heroic dog of Ukraine, you will be simultaneously donating to the largest and most efficient demining vehicle of its kind. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has already purchased one of these thanks to your donations; it will be delivered to Ukraine in a couple of weeks.
