JSC “Ukrposhta” has completed the installation of 38 modular branches in 16 regions, including Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the company’s CEO, Ihor Smilianskyi, announced on Telegram.
According to a press release published by Ukrposhta, the project was implemented thanks to financial support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which allocated EUR 600,000 in the form of an investment grant from the Special Crisis Response Fund.
“At these branches, local residents can receive pensions and social benefits, order medications through the ‘Ukrposhta.Apteka’ service, receive and send packages and letters, pay for utilities, and use financial services,” Smiliansky noted.
The CEO of the postal operator noted that out of the 40 modular branches installed, two were destroyed during the project’s implementation in the Sumy and Donetsk regions.
It is noted that, depending on the number of residents in the community, the company installed two types of modules. Specifically, there are 25 branches with an area of 22 square meters and another 13 with an area of 45 square meters.
These branches are equipped with ramps for people with limited mobility, autonomous heating systems, and the ability to connect to backup power sources to operate during blackouts.
Smilyansky also added that the number of modular branches will continue to grow in the future, funded entirely by Ukrposhta’s own resources.
In total, during the full-scale invasion, 49 of the company’s permanent branches were completely destroyed, and another 648 facilities were damaged.
Over the past month, “Ukrposhta” has also recorded damage to one branch almost every day.
“In recent weeks, we have once again seen how important it is to quickly resume operations. The enemy destroyed our logistics hub in Kharkiv, and after the attack on Kyiv, only a crater remained where the branch in Troyeshchyna used to be. Every day, other facilities come under fire,” the CEO of Ukrposhta is quoted as saying in the press release.
