Ukrposhta issued a stamp in honor of the Ukrainian skeleton player Vladislav Geraskevich, whom the IOC disqualified because of the “memory helmet.” This is stated on the company’s website, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
Strong actions do not always bring medals. And sport sometimes becomes more than just sport. Today Ukrposhta produces a brand with Vladislav Geraskevich. As a sign of support and respect. As a fixation of the moment when the athlete became the voice of the whole country. There are things that cannot be disqualified. Dignity. Memory. Loyalty to the Motherland. And they weigh more than any gold in the world – said in a statement.
In Ukrposhta impressed by the courage and strength of the athlete and give him 50 unique license plates.
Unfortunately, we cannot make this brand charitable for legal reasons. But Vladislav will be able to sign these stamps and play them at auctions in order to raise funds for a good cause, the company notes.
The rest of the circulation from today can be purchased on the website of Ukrposhta. It is also possible to send the brand abroad, said Igor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta, on Facebook.
