Ukrposhta JSC will receive EUR600 thousand for the installation of modular branches from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s (EBRD) Special Crisis Response Fund, the company’s press service said.
According to the company’s announcement on Tuesday, the grant was provided in support of a EUR63 million loan already granted to Ukrposhta by the EBRD.
The company emphasized that the modular branches can be quickly installed in place of stationary branches that have been destroyed or damaged by enemy shelling.
“Modular offices will also be installed in settlements “cut off from the world” – with barrier-free access, equipped with Starlink and generators, they will become an island of stability for Ukrainians,” Ukrposhta said in a statement.
In addition, it is reported that in the modular branches it is possible to send a parcel within Ukraine and abroad; pick up ordered medicines; make a transfer or pick up funds sent by loved ones; subscribe to publications; pay utility and other bills; receive a pension.
The donors of the EBRD Special Crisis Response Fund are Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
