It's just a blue and yellow stamp, but it's going viral - online and on auction platforms. The first few days have passed since it went on sale in Ukrainian post offices and demand is understandably high.

More than 75 years after the end of the Second World War, there are still thousands of tonnes of various munitions in the Baltic Sea. The danger to people and the environment remains dramatic. The Kiel Munition Clearance Week, a combined face-to-face and online conference, was attended by numerous representatives from politics, science and technical experts.
