On July 28, on the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, Ukrposhta put into circulation the fourth postage stamp of martial law “Good evening, we are from Ukraine!”. The subject and sketch of the stamp were chosen by Ukrainians in June by voting in the Diya app and on the pages in the social networks of Ukrposhta.
The postage stamp “Good evening, we are from Ukraine” was printed in a circulation of 5 million copies, of which 3 million with a face value of M (equivalent to UAH 18) to pay for postage within the country and 2 million with a face value of W (equivalent to $1.5), intended for payment for international postal correspondence In addition to the stamps, Ukrposhta issued a leaflet, a first-day envelope, an artistic envelope and merch with the image of the stamp: T-shirts, two types of magnets, bottle openers.
As with previous postal issues, in order to avoid speculation, certain restrictions on the sale will apply – no more than 2 stamp sheets of each denomination (2 + 2), 2 First Day envelopes, 10 envelopes and 10 leaflets in one hand.
“On the postage stamp “Good evening, we are from Ukraine!” the real events that took place in the Mykolaiv region and other regions are reproduced, when Ukrainian peasants without weapons took away Russian equipment, helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fight for victory. This brand, just like its predecessors, shows the invincibility, fearlessness and ingenuity of Ukrainians, which the whole world is fond of today.”

- The sketch of the postage stamp, envelopes, postcards and special cancellation stamps was made by graphic designer and art teacher Anastasia Bondarets. When creating a sketch, the artist was inspired by the phrase itself and the heroism of Ukrainian farmers. That is why the image was based on a tractor pulling a tank, symbolizing the invincibility of Ukrainians. The design of the W stamp sheet uses the philatelic technique of tête-bêche, when one row of stamps is placed upside down. This gives the issue artistic appeal and collectible value.
- The appearance of the phrase “Good evening, we are from Ukraine” Ukrainians owe to the member of the group “Dakha Braha” Marko Galanevich, and later to the group Probass & Hardy, who used it for the track, which, with the outbreak of war, became beloved in Ukraine and the world.
