“Nova Poshta has joined the “Plus” preference program in the Army+ mobile app for military personnel, which allows them to send and receive cargo up to 30 kg for 1 hryvnia at offices in the frontline regions: Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported on Monday.
“Nova Poshta, just like the military, understands that every second is worth its weight in gold. Especially in the delivery of valuable, necessary and symbolically important things for the defenders of Ukraine. A generator, a Mavic or even a child’s drawing that is dear to the heart. The main principle of “Plus” is to be a warm, humane service for the military. And this principle coincides with the principles of Nova Poshta. Therefore, we are glad that they have joined our program,” said Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization Kateryna Chernogorenko.
To use the service, it is enough to generate a barcode in the application and show it to the branch operator, who will activate the offer, the Ministry of Defense telegram channel reports.
The “Pluses” program in the Army+ mobile application for military personnel is based on cooperation with businesses and provides them with a number of preferences in everyday life. In particular, in December 2024, Ukrzaliznytsia joined the program by introducing a special reserve of tickets for the military and Ukrnafta by providing discounts on fuel and 30% off the menu of filling stations.

Popereshniuk announced plans to install industrial uninterruptible power supply systems and energy storage equipment to improve the efficiency of energy facilities.

We were able to launch our energy program, develop renewable energy sources and reduce consumption from the general power grid,” said the co-owner of Nova Poshta.
As reported, in April 2023, in response to Russian strikes on the power grid, Nova Poshta established Nova Energy to develop regular electricity generation and ensure the autonomy of the company’s facilities. Since August, the company has been selling small wholesale diesel fuel on the open market.
