Number of transplants in Ukraine rose by 15% in first quarter of 2026

In Ukraine, 159 organ transplants were performed between January and March 2026, which is 15% more than during the same period last year, according to the Ukrainian Transplant Coordination Center (UTCC).

The center notes that 70% of the transplants were made possible by postmortem donation.

The leaders in organ transplants were the First Medical Association of Lviv, where 43 transplants were performed, the O.O. Shalimov National Scientific Center for Surgery and Transplantology (23), and the Kyiv Medical Center (20).

The most heart transplants were performed at the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (12), liver transplants at the Oberig Clinic (18), and kidney transplants at the First Medical Association of Lviv (26).

In addition, the transplant team at the Ministry of Health of Ukraine’s Center for Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery performed a heart transplant on a child for the first time.

The UCTC notes that there are currently 3,957 patients on the national waiting list, including 2,389 in need of a kidney transplant, 734 in need of a heart transplant, 739 in need of a liver transplant, 57 in need of a lung transplant, and four in need of a heart-lung transplant.

The UCTC also reports that in January–March 2026, 126 hematopoietic stem cell transplants were performed at 13 medical facilities, which is 22% more than in January–March 2025.

Among the hematopoietic stem cell transplants performed, 13 were performed on children.

The highest number of bone marrow transplants were performed by the National Children’s Specialized Hospital “Okhmatdyt” – 26, the Cherkasy Clinical Center for Oncology, Hematology, Transplantology, and Palliative Care – 24, and the Kyiv Medical Center – 20.

The most complex transplants—from unrelated donors—were performed by teams from the National Children’s Specialized Hospital “Okhmatdyt” (8) and the Cherkasy Clinical Center for Oncology, Hematology, Transplantology, and Palliative Care (8).

Ukrainians gradually becoming more favorable toward Greece, although significant proportion of opinions remain neutral

Ukrainians’ attitudes toward Greece are showing a moderately positive trend. According to the results of a public opinion poll conducted in March 2026 by the research company Active Group in collaboration with the Experts Club information and analytical center, the share of positive assessments stands at 52.7%, which is higher than the August 2025 figure (47.7%). At the same time, the level of negative perception remains low and fluctuates around 2.6% (compared to 2.3% previously).

The breakdown of responses indicates a predominance of moderately positive attitudes. 16.8% of respondents chose the option “completely positive,” while another 35.9% selected “mostly positive.” Thus, more than half of Ukrainians generally view Greece positively, although the intensity of this attitude remains less pronounced than in the case of leading European partners.

At the same time, a key feature is the significant share of neutral assessments—43.1%. This indicates that for a significant portion of Ukrainian society, Greece does not fall into the category of countries with a clearly formed emotional image. Negative assessments remain marginal: 2.6% of respondents indicated a “mostly negative” attitude, while the share of “completely negative” assessments is virtually nonexistent. Another 1.6% of respondents were undecided.

Comparative trends show that over the past six months, attitudes toward Greece have become more positive, though the changes are gradual. The increase in positive assessments occurred without a significant rise in negative ones, indicating a gradual strengthening of the overall perception of the country without sharp fluctuations in public opinion.

The high proportion of neutral responses indicates limited intensity of contact or informational influence. In such cases, positive dynamics develop more slowly than in countries that have a more noticeable presence in the political, economic, or humanitarian spheres for Ukraine.

“The results regarding Greece show that Ukrainians do not form strong opinions where interaction is less intense. In such cases, we see a combination of a moderately positive attitude with a large proportion of neutral responses. This means that the country’s image is still in the process of formation,” noted Oleksandr Pozniy, director of the research company Active Group.

Overall, the survey data indicate that Greece is gradually strengthening its position in Ukrainian public opinion, though the country’s level of engagement and influence on perceptions remains moderate. The primary potential for further improvement lies in shifting from a neutral to a more clearly positive perception.

According to a study conducted by the Experts Club information and analytical center based on data from the State Customs Service, Greece ranks 18th in total trade volume with Ukraine, amounting to $1.92 billion. Imports from Greece significantly exceed exports from Ukraine, resulting in a trade deficit of over $1.13 billion.

The study was presented at the Interfax-Ukraine press center; the video can be viewed on the agency’s YouTube channel. The full version of the study can be found at this link on the Experts Club analytical center’s website.

Ukrposhta Launches Parcel Lockers and New Parcel Tracking Features

Ukrposhta JSC is launching its first 70 parcel lockers in Kyiv and a parcel tracking feature in the “Ukrposhta 2.0” mobile app; in a few weeks, the company plans to open another 30 parcel lockers in Odesa.

“Now you can redirect your parcels within Ukraine and from AliExpress or Temu for free (if the parcel hasn’t reached the branch yet): to a parcel locker (yes, without any extra fees), to another branch, extend the storage period, or change the recipient,” wrote Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky on Telegram on Tuesday.

According to him, if a package is already at a branch and the customer needs a different branch or a parcel locker, it is possible to redirect the package at the standard rate.

It is noted that the package will be stored in a parcel locker free of charge for up to seven days; thereafter, if the customer does not pick it up, it will be sent to the nearest branch.

The CEO of Ukrposhta clarified that for the first few weeks, prepaid parcels will be available for delivery to parcel lockers, while in a few weeks the company plans to launch in-app payment.

“Ukrposhta plans to launch about 1,000 parcel lockers by the end of this year (and maybe even more, if you like it),” added Smiliansky.

“We have many exciting changes planned for the near future, which we’ve been working on for a long time (sometimes too long—I admit), but now we’re happy to make these changes available to you at the best rates on the market! Use the service and provide feedback,” noted the CEO of Ukrposhta.

In turn, Ukrposhta clarified that starting today, corporate clients who work with the company via API also have the ability to manage their shipments.

The national postal operator also announced that for those who submit requests at branches, Ukrposhta will maintain this option for a few weeks. However, after the transition period, all requests submitted at branches will be discontinued and moved to the app to reduce lines.

JSC “Ukrposhta” is the national postal operator that provides postal, logistics, financial, and commercial services to private and corporate clients. The company has over 6,000 branches and 26,000 service points throughout Ukraine.
