Stamp sheet «Ukrainian folk costumes. Kuban»

Description:

On 22 January 2024, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a Decree “On the Territories of the Russian Federation Historically Inhabited by Ukrainians”. The decree was the response to the Kremlin's distortion of the history and national identity of Ukrainians in russia, in particular in the lands historically inhabited by Ukrainians: Kuban, Starodubshchyna, Northern and Eastern Slobozhanshchyna. The President of Ukraine noted that: “... today we must take steps not only to strengthen the unity of Ukraine and our people, but also to act for the unity of rights and freedoms, the truth about Ukrainians, the truth about us and the truth about our history.” The new stamp issue featuring folk costumes of Ukrainians from the Kuban, Belgorod and Kursk regions is a continuation of the famous series of postage stamps “Ukrainian Folk Costumes” and a return of the truth about the historical past for the sake of Ukraine's future.
