A fundraiser stamp for Ukraine ? A Global, PREMIUM issue, with funds going for relief efforts ?

A recent Ukraine Post stamp had one million copies made and very quickly sold out. The stamp is based on an actual event on the first days of the 'Special Military Operation' (aka Russian Invasion), and was popular on the news everywhere.
A Russian warship (the cruiser 'Moskva' (Moscow), their flagship in the Black Sea Fleet approached an Ukrainian coastal island. And they sent a radio warning to the defenders, giving them a chance to surrender.
The Ukrainian special forces operator responded, telling them to buzz off in more graphical terms.
The UA stamp shows the island, the soldier giving a Russian ship the finger.
I understand you might not be able to reproduce their design, but a related stamp could be interesting. And if sold as a Premium Stamp (either 50 Coins, or a special 100 Coins price), with proceeds going to the relief effort to the displaced people in Ukraine, this could help and allow us in the Slowly community to show solidarity.
I made a post on Reddit with a more detailed story. And there's also the aspect that the ship in this event was sunk by Ukrainian missiles recently.

Hi all,
Instead of creating one more fundraising campaign, we've decided to give away a "Flag of Ukraine" stamp to anyone who donated to support Ukraine.

Merged in a post:
I suggest a stamp set promoting peace and support for the Ukrainian people. For example; Ukrainian national colors, pigeon, Kyiv square, Ukrainian map, and other iconic symbols can be used.

We all are concerned with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I think a stamp set that shows solidarity for Ukrainians would be appreciated. Moreover, for each stamp set sold, an amount of money can be donated to Ukraine.

Support Ukraine but not the donation idea. Apple and Google will have a big cut.

madcow.hk: It's true - the App Stores commission is very high, at 30% of the service or item sold usually.
Sales via Slowly's own Web Client are processed via a different method, and have a cost of about 3 % only for the company though. So that could be a good alternative for a fund raiser. (or for any purchases we do and are intended to support Slowly Communications bottomline).
Yann2 wrote about this and encouraged people to use the Web Client for Stamps or PLUS! service purchases, the company receives a LOT more via this method.
