The only sources linked in the post are from two social media accounts — one from FixVX and one from Bluesky — which aren’t verifiable and raise some alarms. After digging deeper due to these detections, I was able to find a couple of legitimate news reports from Ukrainian outlets that reaffirm the claim that customs officers at the Shehyni–Medyka border crossing seized just under 14,500 stamps that featured Nazi and Hitler imagery hidden in a shipment of used clothing coming from Poland. The websites I found — Babel.ua and Mezha.net — both reported that the seizure violated Ukraine’s 2015 law that banned Nazi and Communist propaganda. The estimated market value was roughly $40,000–$50,000 USD. The reports, according to the sources I found, were published in early November 2025, which shows that they are current and they match the timing stated in the original claim.
However, there are a few caveats worth noting. None of the articles identify who was responsible for the import attempt, and international outlets like Reuters or AP News haven’t verified the story yet — only regional Ukrainian sources have. Also, the social media post’s framing makes it sound like a political scandal or ongoing issue, when really it’s being treated as a customs seizure, not a widespread or government-related controversy.
Because of that, I’d say the claim is true, but lacks credible sources which make it less believable. The claim itself matches what Ukrainian media has reported, but anyone sharing it should use legitimate news outlets like Babel.ua or Mezha.net instead of anonymous social media posts.
