Mukhina emphasized that Ukrposhta has not issued any official postage stamps dedicated to Iryna Farion and has no plans to do so. The reason is that during the war, the company suspended the issuance of stamps dedicated to personalities. In addition, according to the rules, stamps can be issued to individuals only on anniversaries, and not earlier than 10 years after their death, to objectively assess the person's contribution. The final decision on the issue of stamps is made by the Editorial and Artistic Council.
