So I bought two metal figurines from a seller in Ukraine [View all]

On ePay

His seller logo was Ukraine flag, so I sent the message "Slava Ukraini" (I hope that was correct spelling) and got the following message in return -

Hallo!
Thanks for your purchase and your words.
may your sky be peaceful
Nikolay

The figurines are 55 mm tall, unavailable in the U.S., absolutely beautiful tin alloy from Japanese fantasy world, and unfortunately not suitable for posting here.

I thought the message was rather poignant.
