“By Sword and Will”: Ukrposhta releases stamp block marking anniversary of full-scale war
According to Ukrinform, Ukrposhta announced the release on Facebook.
The stamp block is based on works by Ukrainian artist Oleh Shupliak from his series “The Great Battle of Ukraine with Mordor.” In 2022, the artist reinterpreted Russia’s invasion through symbolic imagery, portraying Ukraine as a force of light resisting imperial evil.
“This stamp block is intended to preserve the memory of wartime and the daily resistance of Ukrainians,” Ukrposhta noted.
The ceremonial first-day cancellation took place at the Main Post Office on Independence Square in Kyiv.
The print run includes 60,000 stamp blocks, 15,000 first-day covers, and 400 presentation folders.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, a stamp dedicated to the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade was ceremonially cancelled at the Lviv Regional State Administration.
