14.03.2025

On March 14, Ukrposhta officially put into circulation a new postage stamp “City of Heroes. Mariupol”, dedicated to the anniversary of the tragedy in the city of Mariupol. This issue continues the series of stamps honoring heroic cities of Ukraine that demonstrated extraordinary courage and resilience in the fight for independence.

Mariupol is a city that has become a symbol of invincibility, having received the honorary title “Hero City of Ukraine”, established by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on March 6, 2022. Since May 2022, the city has been under temporary occupation, but its spirit remains unshakable.

A feature of this issue is the unique coating of the stamps with particles of steel produced at the Azovstal plant of the Metinvest Group in Mariupol. After the start of full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation, Azovstal turned from a plant into a fortress, which became the last line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. The courage, bravery and indomitability of the defenders of Mariupol became an example for millions of Ukrainians, and the last steel from Azovstal became a symbol for the country. It was this steel from the last production of the Azovstal workshop, manufactured before the start of the aggressor's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, that became an addition to the unique "steel" brand. And thanks to the cooperation of Ukrposhta with the world's leading printing services company Cartor Security Printers (France), it became possible to apply steel to postal miniatures using thermography technology.

The main image of the Ukrposhta postal issue "City of Heroes. Mariupol" is the building of the Drama Theater, where about a thousand civilians were hiding from shelling, and on which on March 16, 2022, the Russian invaders dropped two super-powerful air bombs. Artist of stamp Oleg Shuplyak depicted the theater building before and after the Russian strike, as a reminder of the grave crime of the occupiers against a peaceful Ukrainian city. This image is also very symbolic, because right next to the destroyed theater building, the entire length of the square was marked “CHILDREN” (in Russian), indicating that children were in the building. But this inscription did not stop the Russians.
