On February
24, 2022, Kharkiv region, along with other regions bordering russia, was the
first to meet the invaders not with flowers and hugs, but with weapons and
fury: people of Kharkiv devotedly defended the city while the region locals and
the military desperately resisted the invader in the territories captured by
the enemy. And in September 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the swift
counterattacks liberated from the occupiers almost the entire region. Kharkiv
region survived owing to the courage of the military and ordinary people: due
to those who laid an evacuation route, who shot down a russian attack aircraft
in the skies of Kharkiv, who saved a priceless museum exhibit, who with their
resistance and courage helped to liberate their native land. The patriots of
Slobozhanshchyna (Sloboda Ukraine) set an example of resilience and
indomitability and they continue to defend their land against the aggressor's
attacks. The postal issue is dedicated to the Hero cities of Kharkiv region:
Balakliia, Izium, Kupiansk, and Kharkiv. As an emotional symbol of freedom, the
stamps depict the moments when the Ukrainian flag was raised in these cities.
Sketches of the postal issue were developed by the creative agency I AM IDEA.
