Why would they risk a leak that threatened the operation just to promote a stamp?
It doesn’t seem like it would take hours to grab a screenshot off of a TV broadcast and photoshop it onto a stamp, without advanced knowledge.

I expect the Ukranian post office has many similar stamps designed and ready. They make good material to promote Ukraine.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoThey don't have to be told about the attack as part of the promotion. A group of stamp artists gets told "we want to make stamps of 50 different Russian monuments getting blown up to support national unity." Then, they produce some art - Lenin's tomb, this bridge, the Kremlin, some sort of iconic skyscraper, etc. One of the 50 gets blown up, and a stamp line gets released. For bonus points, if one of those artists actually is a Russian asset, the Russians now waste resources guarding all the other monuments expecting future attacks. The screenshot-the-TV approach also works, and there are ML filters that can stylize that art, so we wouldn't know how the stamps were actually created.
