“The current CEO, Oleksandr Bulba, will continue to manage the company until the end of the year. Over the next two and a half months, both top managers will work together under the selected & acting CEO model to ensure a smooth transfer of power,” the company said in a press release on Wednesday.
It is noted that the competition for the position was open: more than 20 candidates were considered, including managers from international companies.
“Three candidates made it to the final round: two external candidates and one internal candidate. We are proud that the leader we have chosen has grown with the company. Yevhen knows all the processes down to the smallest details and has an ambitious vision for the future,” said Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of Nova Poshta, in the release.
It is noted that under Tafiychuk’s leadership, courier delivery has been transformed, the Nova Poshta branch network has doubled, and delivery speed has become the fastest in the Ukrainian logistics market.

“As of October 6, the company has 44,983 service points, including 14,336 branches. Over the past year alone, more than 8,000 new parcel terminals have been installed, and over the past week, another 259,” the document says.
As previously reported by Nova Poshta, in the first half of this year, its branch network grew by 708 points to 13,985, and the number of parcel terminals increased by more than 4,000 to 28,326, while in mid-2024 there were 12,180 and 18,370 thousand, respectively.
“Parcel locker delivery is a global trend that is rapidly gaining momentum in Ukraine. We plan to invest about UAH 1 billion in the development of the parcel locker network by the end of 2025,” said Artur Kudelin, director of the parcel locker department at Nova Poshta, in the release.
The company added that while three years ago less than 10 million shipments per year passed through parcel lockers, now there are 46 million, and by the end of 2025, the company plans to reach 75 million deliveries.
“We see a clear trend: the opening of a parcel terminal (for example, near a cottage community) immediately stimulates the growth of online purchases in that area. Therefore, the expansion of the network contributes to the development of the entire online commerce ecosystem in general,” Kudelin noted.
According to the release, more than 4,000 parcel terminals in the network are powered by solar panels, and a “locker” service has also been introduced for temporary storage or transfer of items.
The main activity of Nova Poshta is express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized large-sized cargo.

The number of employees aged 18-22 who have left Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s leading express delivery company, over the last 10 days after being granted permission to leave the country has reached 170, while 64 new employees have been hired, resulting in a net outflow of 106 employees, according to the company’s co-founder Volodymyr Poperechnyuk.
“This is not a significant problem for the company. After all, ten days is not enough for serious analysis – we will look at the results in a month or two. One thing is clear: competition for employees will increase. And that’s a good thing,” Poperechnyuk wrote on social network X, supporting the decision of the president and the government to open the border for 18-22-year-olds subject to military service.
He stressed that human resources are the most scarce in the economy, and this forces businesses to constantly raise salaries, improve conditions, and fight for every employee.
The co-owner of Nova Poshta added that restoring freedom of movement for men aged 18-22 is the right decision both for ethical reasons, since human freedom is a fundamental value, and for economic reasons, since freedom is always a guarantee of development.
“Yes, some young people will leave, especially those who are about to turn 23. But at the same time, it opens the door for thousands of young people to return to the country. Now, 18-22-year-olds will be able to freely cross the border in both directions. And most importantly, the outflow of 17-year-old boys will decrease. I think this was the key motivation for officials,” Poperechnyuk believes.
The article does not provide the total number of Nova Poshta employees aged 18-22, but in May 2025, the company informed the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development of its planned reduction of about 2,900 employees, which is less than 10% of the total number.
Forbes Ukraine recently reported that at Silpo, which employs about 3,000 people aged 18-22, the number of resignations has increased significantly but does not exceed 3%.
