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.

The final decision on the issue of stamps is made by the Editorial and Artistic Council.
