To the 31st anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine, Ukrposhta issued a postage block "FREE. UNBREAKABLE. INVINCIBLE." The block includes the stamp with a Ukrainian soldier and 6 illustrations, depicting the last 6 months of the great 8-year war of Ukrainian people against the invaders.

The block is created in a graphic arts style. The central object of the block is a postage stamp with the image of a Ukrainian defender, who personifies the courage and holding power of the Ukrainian army in the fight for the independence of its country. The postage stamp is designed in the colors of the national flag of Ukraine. The polygonal style of the illustrations gives the postal block a modern look and is used for the first time on Ukrposhta's postal products.

The illustrations of the block are made as a black-and-white event chronicle with the individual color accents. Each of the illustrations is a separate tragic story of Ukrainians that took place in different periods of wartime in different regions of Ukraine.

They are united by one word - "WAR":

1. A woman standing in a high-rise building on the ruins of a destroyed apartment.
2. A mother with a child hiding from rocket attacks in the subway.
3. A girl in front of a pile of burnt civilian cars.
4. Drama theater in Mariupol with the signal inscription "CHILDREN", which became the last refuge for many Ukrainians.
5. Sviatohorsk Lavra, which was repeatedly attacked by the invaders.
6. A baby carriage, abandoned suitcases and toys - a picture that one could see at the train station of every Ukrainian city.

The author of the postage block is Anton Khrupin, a young Ukrainian designer from Kramatorsk. Cooperation with Ukrposhta began when Anton sent one of his works to a sketch competition. After that, the artist received an offer from Ukrposhta to develop sketches for wartime postal products.

The postage block circulation is 1 million copies. The face value of the block is 60 UAH. The First Day cover and the unmarked illustrated cover were also issued for the block.
