The EVA retail chain plans to invest approximately UAH 1.33 billion in business development in 2026, focusing on logistics, network expansion, and digital solutions, the company’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine.
The company specified that more than half of the investments will be directed toward developing logistics infrastructure, specifically the expansion and modernization of distribution centers in Lviv and Brovary.
Another approximately 0.5 billion UAH is planned to be invested in opening new stores and modernizing existing ones. This includes, in particular, the introduction of hybrid checkout counters that can operate in both self-service and traditional modes, data collection terminals, and other digital solutions.
E-commerce remains a separate area of investment. In 2025, the share of online sales in total revenue exceeded 12%, and the company plans to further increase this share through the development of its platform and services, as well as by improving the customer experience.
In 2025, EVA invested over UAH 1.1 billion and opened 73 new stores, continuing to scale the “EVA Women’s Energy” concept and develop the EVA Beauty format, as well as introducing a new experimental compact format, “EVA Nearby.” As of the end of March 2026, the chain had 1,173 retail locations.
In 2026, the company plans to maintain its growth pace and open about 60 new stores, including three EVA Beauty stores—in Kyiv and Uzhhorod.
Rush LLC, which manages the EVA chain, was founded in 2002. As of early 2026, the chain comprises 1,167 operating stores. According to 2025 results, Rush LLC increased its net revenue by 18% compared to the previous year, reaching UAH 31.8 billion.
According to data from the YouControl analytical system, the owner of Rush LLC is listed as the Cypriot company Incetera Holdings Limited (100%), with Ruslan Shostak and Valery Kiptik as the ultimate beneficiaries.

It is noted that the new-format branches in residential complexes became the most popular: 21 of the 36 branches were opened there.
Most branches during the first quarter appeared in the Kyiv and Lviv regions, as well as in the frontline Zaporizhzhia region.

It is noted that the company currently operates 36,700 parcel lockers nationwide.
Nova Poshta added that by the end of 2026, it plans to expand its network of parcel lockers by 6,000 units and open 300 mini-branches across the country.
In late March, in a comment to the Interfax-Ukraine agency, the company’s Director of Customer Service, Maksym Melezhik, announced plans to open approximately 300 branches in residential complexes by 2026.
Overall, Nova Poshta plans to expand its network of service points from 51,500 to 60,000 by 2026, including up to 40,000 parcel lockers, Melezhik shared during the Nova Summit in Kyiv.

Over 130,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory remain dangerous due to landmines, but since the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022, over 40,000 square kilometers have already been returned to use, and nearly 10,000 square kilometers are planned for demining this year, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported.
“Today, on International Mine Awareness Day, we note that Ukraine remains the most heavily contaminated country in the world with explosive ordnance—over 130,000 square kilometers of territory are potentially dangerous. The largest areas are in the Kharkiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Donetsk regions,” she wrote in a Telegram post on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the prime minister reported that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has returned 40,700 square kilometers to use, including 15,100 hectares of agricultural land, which were cleared under the state program “Humanitarian Demining.”
According to her, Ukraine is changing its approaches to demining, reducing costs, and utilizing Ukrainian robotic systems. This year, plans are in place to return nearly 10,000 hectares to use, primarily agricultural land. The list was compiled for the first time using the GRIT prioritization system, she noted.
“We are developing the market for demining operators: their number has grown from 74 to 134, in particular thanks to the involvement of the private sector alongside the State Emergency Service and the State Specialized Service,” the Prime Minister writes.
In addition, a program is in place to compensate individuals and self-employed farmers for the cost of demining, so applications can be submitted through the State Agrarian Register.
The Soul of Soil campaign is ongoing, promoting products from demined areas and supporting humanitarian demining.
According to Fixygen, the cryptocurrency market began the week by regaining key levels, and Bitcoin once again tested the $70,000 mark—the first such move in the past week and a half.
By midday, the asset was holding near $69,700, showing moderate growth and confirming the continuation of upward momentum following the previous consolidation phase. The session’s local high reached $70,250, signaling a return of buyer interest in the market.
Prices are being supported by the overall news backdrop, including discussions of a possible de-escalation in the Middle East. Potential negotiations for a temporary ceasefire are perceived by the market as a factor reducing global risks, which is traditionally favorable for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
At the same time, geopolitical uncertainty persists, keeping volatility at elevated levels. Reduced liquidity due to the Easter holidays in Europe and Asia remains an additional factor, amplifying price swings but not altering the overall picture of a gradual recovery.
As a result, the market is showing cautious optimism: current levels serve as a balancing zone where the foundation for further movement is being formed. If the macroeconomic outlook remains neutral or improves, Bitcoin could consolidate above $70,000 and continue moving toward new local highs, whereas negative signals could return the asset to a consolidation range without breaking the medium-term trend.
