Warriors of Light, a wartime stamp dedicated to infrastructure workers

Ukrainian Carols in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (self-explanatory)

The Garden of Divine Songs, dedicated to poet and philosopher Hryhorii Skovoroda

And the wonderful Ukrainian Yard 1, 2, and 3! Kost Lavro, who did the art for these, is a famous children’s book illustrator, his stamps are so friendly-looking.
