This is a strange overprint. It's very similar to the Ukrainian "courier field post" overprints on these stamps except they have Ukrainian overprints in Cyrillic.
This looks similar but appears to be in Polish ("kurierska" is a Polish word for courier) but still with the Ukrainian hryvni currency.

Makes sense. The Polish army overprinted with Polish currency values supplies of Ukrainian stamps captured in the ethnically Polish areas of Ukraine during the Polish-Ukrainian War. Whether they were ever actually authorised, let alone postally used, is another question.
