Lietuvos Paštas (Lithuanian Post), together with Laisvės TV, will issue a postage stamp to commemorate the fundraising campaign to donate the Bayraktar combat drone to Ukraine.
In a campaign launched by Laisvės TV, an Internet broadcaster headed by Andrius Tapinas, Lithuanians have donated 5 million euros in just three and a half days to purchase a Bayraktar drone for Ukraine.

“This extraordinary event is about the unity of the society, so we want to preserve it in the form of a stamp. Postage stamps are a way for Lietuvos Paštas to commemorate and disseminate important messages, values, and ideas,” Lietuvos Paštas CEO Asta Sungailienė said in a press release.
Laisvės TV shared a possible visualisation of the stamp on social media. It attracted the attention of Lietuvos Paštas, which decided to realise the idea.
It is planned that the stamp will be available next week at all post offices in major Lithuanian cities, as well as Lietuvos Paštas online shop. Half of the money collected from stamp sales will be donated to Blue/Yellow, a non-governmental organisation supporting the Ukrainian army.
