Postage set «State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. 35 Years»

On November 4, 1991, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law of Ukraine “On the State Border of Ukraine” as well as the Law of Ukraine “On the Border Troops of Ukraine.” These two legislative acts logically embodied the country’s position on defining its own borders and establishing the security component of the state.

The state border of Ukraine is inviolable. It defines the territorial boundaries of Ukraine as a fully-fledged subject of international law. Our country has one of the longest state borders on the European continent — approximately 7,000 kilometers — while the area of Ukraine’s exclusive (maritime) economic zone exceeds 72,000 square kilometers.

Today, Ukraine is waging a just struggle to restore its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.

Edition of the thematic postage set according to the “Personalized Stamp” project. The set contains a numbered stamp sheet of 9 stamps and a numbered C6 art envelope with a special cancellation.
