On April 3rd, 2024, the Post Authority of Ukraine - Ukrposhta - issued commemorative set of four stamps - "Cities of Heroes. Chernihiv Region".
"M" is the letter equivalent of domestic registered letters without declared value (registered) letters weighing up to 50 grams and post cards rate. At the date of the issue, it was equivalent to 30 Ukrainian Hryvni (€0.60).
The postage issue, which is a continuation of the “Cities of Heroes” series, is dedicated to Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Yahidne and Semenivka. The designs were developed by the creative agency I AM IDEA.
The following paragraph is the quote from official press release of Ukrposhta
For more than a month, since February 24, 2022, the enemy has been trying to
occupy the territory of Chernihiv region to get as close to the capital as possible.
Despite the danger, the locals actively resisted: they set up artificial obstacles to
the advance of enemy vehicles on the roads, tracked their movement and passed information
to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in other words, did everything to help the defenders
hold back the offensive.
The Ukrainian military fought desperately for every meter of their homeland and by April 3, 2022,
drove the Russian aggressor out of the entire region.
With the liberation, peace did not return to the region, as the proximity of the border
with Russia allows the enemy to launch constant missile attacks aimed at settlements in the region.
But this did not prevent active recovery from the Russian invasion.
The Chernihiv region has survived and is rebuilding, and its residents deserve our sincere respect
for their active struggle.
