Nova Post Europe, part of the NOVA Group, plans to double its network of branches in Europe by 2026 and keep its strategy focused on ensuring maximum delivery speed, said Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of the express delivery leader Nova Post.
“I believe Nova Post is the only company capable of delivering a package from Berlin to Warsaw the next day. Accessibility—we already have more than 300 branches across Europe. And we will continue this expansion in 2026: by 2026, the network will double,“ Klimov said at the ”Dialogues with NV” event dedicated to European integration in Kyiv on Thursday, according to a correspondent for the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
According to him, the company has achieved its greatest success in Moldova, and overall, Nova Post is already operating profitably in 5 out of 16 markets, even though the first European branch in Warsaw was opened only in October 2023.
“None of the 16 markets we’ve entered behave the same way. At least in our business, the essence of the European Union is that it is by no means a unified structure in terms of consumer habits: every country has local leaders—very tenacious and very strong. And in each of these markets, you have to make local decisions. That is, think globally, but work and think about how to satisfy the consumer exclusively locally,” Klimov emphasized.
He added that in the global market, no one cares about a company’s origin, so you can only win the competition by offering faster, more accessible, and more reliable services.
Among the obstacles to development, the founder of the NOVA Group cited the National Bank of Ukraine’s limit on financing business abroad at $1 million per month.
Klimov also views as a risk the fact that combining European requirements with Ukrainian bureaucratic procedures could create additional difficulties for the development of Ukrainian business; among other things, he is cautious about the requirements to establish a transport regulator in Ukraine.
Nova Post Europe processed 13 million international shipments in 2025 and plans to increase this volume by over 30% in 2026 and maintain this pace through 2030, Nova Post Europe CEO Oleksandr Lysovets previously stated in an interview with Forbes Ukraine. According to him, these plans will be supported by a new phase of European expansion with investments exceeding $5 million.
The main activity of Nova Poshta, the core asset of the NOVA Group, is express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized oversized cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperechnyuk and Klimov.
