"Cities of Heroes. Mykolaiv" sheet.

Mykolaiv is a city on the rise. City of Shipmen and Heroes. The city, which Russian troops tried to occupy more than once. Thanks to the feat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the citizens of Mykolayiv, Mykolaiv stood its ground and stopped the enemy's onslaught, covering the south of our country. After the Ukrainian troops pushed back the enemy beyond Kherson, the mutilated but unconquered Mykolaiv gradually came back to life: a railway connection was launched, and electricity, water and heat supplies were restored.

On March 24, 2022, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, awarded Mykolaiv the honorary title "Hero City of Ukraine". The postage stamp of the "Cities of Heroes" series depicts the building of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration after being hit by a Russian missile on March 29, 2022, on the margins of the stamp sheet is a monument to Saint Nicholas, whom the townspeople consider the guardian angel and patron of the city; on the envelope - protective fortifications made of tires near the building of the former first tram substation of the city.
