Card "It shall be as the Witch says" 2025

On April 22, 2022, almost two months after the start of Russia's large-scale aggression against Ukraine, a poem by poet Lyudmila Gorova, “Vrazhe” (Enemy), written as a witch's spell against enemies, was published online. The words quickly went viral. They were read aloud, set to music, and translated into other languages. “You will get what you deserve, enemy... For Kremenchuk, for Bucha, for Irpin, for Mykolaiv, for Kharkiv, for Mariupol... For Ukraine,” "This is not a song, but a spell and a curse for the orcs. May all this come true a thousand times over. These are the words of every woman in Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine, death to enemies,“ ”This is women's revenge on all looters, rapists, murderers: of people, children, parents, women, and animals," — such comments were left under the video of the song on YouTube, which gained 1 million views in less than a month.

The postage stamp issue “You will get what the Witch says, enemy” was illustrated by Ukrainian artist Kateryna Shtanko, whose stamp sheet “Flowers of Ukraine” (2002) won the favor of philatelists around the world and won a bronze medal at the 7th World Stamp Cup (France) and became a true symbol of Ukrainian philately.
