Ukrainians urge Amazon to drop Donetsk separatist kitsch from ‘marketplace’

While a variety of Donetsk separatist kitsch items, such as this one, have been made available on Amazon’s marketplace, some Ukrainians consider them as “terrorist” swag and are demanding a ban, preferably in time for Christmas.

“Amazon profits from promoting terrorism,” Health Minister Ulana Suprun charged in a bilingual Facebook post alongside images of the products on offer on November 19. She called for “a flash mob on social networks” and via e-mail to demand that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos “take the products off of Amazon’s site.”
