KYIV, April 21, 2026 — Ratel Robotics, together with JSC Ukrposhta, held an official cancellation ceremony for the "Robots Save Lives" postage stamp. The release is dedicated to Ukrainian ground robotic systems (UGVs) and to the engineers who have become an integral part of modern technological warfare.
The main "heroes" of the postal release were the Ratel H and Ratel M platforms. Over three years of active front-line use, Ratel Robotics equipment has carried out more than 600 combat missions. Thanks to the company's logistics solutions, more than 100 wounded servicemen have been evacuated from under fire, which confirms the release's main message: robots save lives.
"This stamp is recognition that Ukraine has become a global hub of MilTech innovation. Our mission remains unchanged: a machine, not a person, should go into the most dangerous zones. Equipment can be repaired, but a human life is priceless," said Taras Ostapchuk, founder and CEO of Ratel Robotics, during his speech.
The event was also attended by Liuba Shypovych, head of the Dignitas Fund, who emphasized the importance of the systematic adoption of the "war of robots" and the role of Ukrainian engineers in creating an asymmetric advantage over the enemy. The presentation was joined by the commander of the unmanned systems battalion of the 427th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "RAROH", call sign Barma, whose unit directly operates these systems at the front.
Ukrposhta's press center reported that the stamp is being released in the "Personalized Stamp" series. Its design reflects the futuristic yet pragmatic character of Ukrainian developments, which today set the rules on the battlefield.
At the venue, the Ratel M and Ratel X platforms were demonstrated — the same machines on which soldiers train before deployment to the front.
