Cover «First Day. To Marine Corps Day. Warriors of the Three Elements»

Description:

“Marines — Always Faithful!” is more than a motto — it is a principle Ukrainian marines prove in battle every single day.

They operate confidently on land, in water, and from the air. Since the first days of Russia’s aggression, the Ukrainian Marine Corps has become a symbol of resilience, endurance, and brotherhood in arms.

Today, marines are fighting where the situation is toughest. They hold defensive lines, lead assaults, evacuate brothers-in-arms under fire, and are the first to arrive where strength, determination, and decisive action are needed most. Their power lies not only in training and combat experience, but also in trust, unity, and their readiness to stand shoulder to shoulder until the very end.

On May 21, 2026, Ukrposhta will issue the national postage stamp “Marine Corps Day. Warriors of the Sea, Land, and Air”, dedicated to the courage, strength, and resilience of Ukrainian marines. A special First Day cancellation ceremony will take place in Kyiv (01001).

The stamp, First Day Cover, postcard, and presentation folder were designed by Oleksandr Kalmykov.

The issue was created with the support of the 30th Marine Corps of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
