Bring to your attention the envelope FDC “FREE. UNBREAKABLE. INVINCIBLE” 2022, with a special stamp "special cancellation"
that take place in village Demydiv, Kyiv region on August 24-25, 2022.
The village of Demydiv in the Kyiv region was under russian occupation for over a month.
To
the 31st anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine, Ukrposhta issued a
postage block "FREE. UNBREAKABLE. INVINCIBLE." The block includes the
stamp with a Ukrainian soldier and 6 illustrations, depicting the last 6
months of the great 8-year war of Ukrainian people against the
invaders.
The
block is created in a graphic arts style. The central object of the
block is a postage stamp with the image of a Ukrainian defender, who
personifies the courage and holding power of the Ukrainian army in the
fight for the independence of its country. The postage stamp is designed
in the colors of the national flag of Ukraine. The polygonal style of
the illustrations gives the postal block a modern look and is used for
the first time on Ukrposhta's postal products.
The
illustrations of the block are made as a black-and-white event
chronicle with the individual color accents. Each of the illustrations
is a separate tragic story of Ukrainians that took place in different
periods of wartime in different regions of Ukraine.
They are united by one word - "WAR":
- A woman standing in a high-rise building on the ruins of a destroyed apartment.
- A mother with a child hiding from rocket attacks in the subway.
- A girl in front of a pile of burnt civilian cars.
- Drama theater in Mariupol with the signal inscription "CHILDREN", which became the last refuge for many Ukrainians.
- Sviatohorsk Lavra, which was repeatedly attacked by the invaders.
- A baby carriage, abandoned suitcases and toys - a picture that one could see at the train station of every Ukrainian city.
