"We consider our stamps to be prophetic...We thought that this exact stamp, this exact painting would be the best representation of what every Ukrainian feels about our enemy."

"This stamp is very necessary and symbolic. It depicts a young boy defeating a big man. I think the boy is a symbol of a small Ukraine which defeats the big man, Russia. It's very representative of the situation."
