Postal Blok "And there will be spring" 2024

"And it will be spring!" — a postal issue with the most iconic photos of the wartime, with which we honor the heroic resistance of Ukrainians to the Russian aggressor, which has been going on for 10 years.

Each stamp is a separate picture.

On stamp No. 2072 "Capture of Belbek Airport". Sevastopol, 2014." — a commemorative photo of the war started by the Russian Federation against Ukraine back in 2014 with the occupation of Crimea, belongs to Kuba Kaminsky/PAP. The Polish photographer miraculously managed to hide the photo of the seizure of the Belbek airport in Sevastopol from the Russian invaders, thanks to which the whole world saw this photo.

On stamp No. 2073 "Love can't be stopped! Kharkiv, 2022". — photo by Serhiy Bobka/AFP captures a fragile moment of love: medical volunteers in the spring of 2022 at a wedding photo shoot in the yard of a house destroyed by Russian missiles in Kharkiv.

On the stamp No. 2074 "Light will win! "Azovstal". Mariupol, 2022." — a warrior in the rays of the sun on "Azovstal", which is a legendary self-portrait taken by a defender with the call sign "Orest" Dmytro Kozatsky in May 2022 during the heroic defense of the Mariupol "fortress".

On stamp No. 2075 "Arms of an infantryman. Bakhmut, 2023." — a photo of an infantryman of the 28th brigade with the call sign "Snowball", which was taken by Maksym Dondyuk a few hundred meters from the enemy trenches on the outskirts of Bakhmut in March 2023.
