Russian warship, go fuck yourself

Украинский последний военный корабль, иди нахуй
Billboard in Dnipro, Ukraine, with the statement written in Russian

"Russian warship, go fuck yourself",[a] was the final communication made on 24 February, the first day of the 2022 Snake Island campaign, by Ukrainian border guard Roman Hrybov to the Russian missile cruiser Moskva. The phrase was widely adopted as a slogan during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as in pro-Ukrainian protests and demonstrations in the West.[3] Weeks later, the phrase was commemorated on a postage stamp by Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian postal service.[4]

The Ukrainian border guards were originally believed to have been all killed, but Hrybov was later confirmed by the Ukrainian Navy to be "alive and well" and had been captured by the Russian Navy in the attack. During Hrybov's captivity, his family applied for a defensive trademark on the slogan.[5][6] On his release, Hrybov was awarded a medal for his actions at the end of March.[7]

On 13 April 2022, one day after the first issue of the commemorative stamp, the Russian Navy's guided missile cruiser, Moskva, was critically damaged by an explosion caused by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles, and sank the following day.[8][9] Ukrposhta responded to this event by releasing an altered version of the postage stamp soon after, with the warship removed from the scene.[10]
