Issued on 22 January 2025 to mark Ukrainian Unity Day, this release from Ukrposhta celebrates the traditional festive costume of the Kuban region — a land whose Ukrainian roots remain deeply woven into its history and identity.

Part of the long-running “Ukrainian Folk Costume” series (est. 2001), the “Kuban” stamp continues the artistic and ethnographic narrative of Ukrainian culture through authentic regional design. The image portrays a festive women’s attire typical of Kuban villages in the 19th century — a reminder of how folk traditions preserve a sense of belonging even beyond modern borders.
