UKRAINE FDC Kyiv 002 Minute of silence Autograph of the artist Registered 2024

A nationwide minute of silence in memory of Ukrainians, who died because of russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, was established by the Decree of the President of Ukraine on 16 March 2022. "Every morning at 9 a.m., throughout our country, we will commemorate Ukrainians who sacrificed their lives. All those who fought. All military and all civilians. Adults and children... All of them!.. Eternal memory to everyone who died for Ukraine!" said the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The postal issue "Minute of Silence," which Ukrposhta presents on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Fallen Defenders of Ukraine, reproduces the works of Donetsk artist Sergiy Maidukov "Marsove Pole (Field of Mars). Lviv" (2023) and "Memorial on Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Kyiv" (2024). Since the beginning of the large-scale war, blue and yellow flags have been flying in the cemeteries of all Ukrainian cities and villages, on the graves of fallen heroes, reminding us, who are still alive, about the price of every moment lived in the unconquered country at war. The emotional issue is complemented by a poem "And horror, and blood, and death, and despair" written by the prominent Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko back in 2014. The poem is translated by Jaroslava Francesca Barbieri (June 30, 2024).

Each stamp in the sheet contains 5 UAH of charity. The money raised in this way will be used by Ukrposhta to support the humanitarian project On the Shield to return fallen soldiers.
