Description: Booklet contains:1 stamp of Solidarity with Ukrainian People gummed to booklet and cancelled with First Day SOLIDARITY WITH THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE Continuing CTT−Correios de Portugal’s policy of showing solidarity with the Ukrainian people at this extremely difficult time for their country, it is with great pleasure that we join together once more in helping and supporting the recovery of Ukrainian society. The postage stamp was created for a simple purpose: to serve as proof of payment for a message transmission service. It then evolved into what it is now: an ambassador for important causes and a celebration of the most important achievements in the issuing countries. The stamp is also, and always has been, a herald of peace. It has an ecumenical, solidarity-based, educational dimension, uniting peoples and nations. It simplifies communication, carrying and delivering messages of all kinds to every corner on Earth. As such, CTT Correios de Portugal has decided to use the postage stamp to express our utmost solidarity with the Ukrainian people at this difficult time, issuing this stamp which has been designed by our prestigious designer Professor João Machado. In addition to this stamp, and as a prestigious symbolic expression of the connection between Ukraine and this CTT initiative, we present a text by His Excellency the President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a contribution that greatly honours us and adds even greater value to the issue. CTT will donate all net proceeds from these stamps to actions that contribute towards alleviating the plight of the Ukrainian people. These actions will be defined in detail in close collaboration with the Embassy of Ukraine in Portugal. João Bento CEO CTT − Correios de Portugal UKRAINE AND PORTUGAL - UNITED IN SOLIDARITY Dear Friends! Since the first days of the large-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine, we have felt sincere support of the Government and the people of Portugal. Ukraine and Portugal have never been as close as they are today. Never before has there been such a strong feeling of belonging of Ukrainian and Portuguese people to a common European home. We thank each and every one of you who support Ukraine and our struggle for freedom. We appreciate Portugal's assistance in the area of defence, humanitarian and financial aid. We are sincerely touched by the enormous support of Portuguese society for the aspirations of Ukrainian people to join you in the European Union. We are confident that the Portuguese will stand with Ukraine until our common victory. This is the only way to put an end to the tyranny, violence and injustice that Russia is seeking to impose on the world. This is the only way to defend the European values that unite our peoples and which are part of the DNA of every European. Every step that brings us closer to this goal is important. I am particularly happy that Portugal has joined the countries of the world which have issued a postage stamp in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. I would like to thank the national postal services in Portugal, CTT - Correios de Portugal, for this initiative. From this day on, this postage stamp will become another symbol of friendship and unity of our peoples in the face of historic tests. Thank you, Portugal! Glory to Ukraine! Volodymyr Zelenskyy President of Ukraine
