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.

“During the first quarter, 19 branches changed their locations to make using Nova Poshta’s services even more convenient,” the release quotes Anna Fedchenko, head of Nova Poshta’s network development planning department.

According to Artur Kudelin, director of Nova Poshta’s parcel locker department, the company recently opened a parcel locker facility with 26 sections and 286 lockers.

“In addition, we are adding new stacks to existing parcel lockers—where there is sufficient demand and technical feasibility. We have already expanded 445 locations in this way,” said Kudelin.

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.

Nova Poshta to Open 300 Branches in Residential Complexes in 2026

Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s leading express delivery service and a member of the NOVA Group, plans to open approximately 300 branches within residential complexes in 2026, the company’s Director of Customer Service, Maksym Melezhik, told Interfax-Ukraine.

“We plan to open about 300 more such branches. We are already testing 25 such locations within the (Kyiv) residential complexes ‘New England,’ Respublika, and Parkland. We see that the format is becoming popular: there is stable demand and good sales,” Melezhik explained.

As an example, he cited the “New England” residential complex, where a second branch had to be opened because the first one could not keep up with demand.

According to him, the new formats are more convenient for customers, and launching new branches takes only 2–4 weeks.

“Our strategic goal is to get even closer to our customers. In terms of numbers, today 87% of users have a Nova Poshta service point within a 5-minute reach. Opening another 10,000 branches will enable 95% of customers to have a 2-minute reach,” explained Nova Poshta’s Director of Customer Service.

Nova Poshta is also already testing a new space for parcel lockers in the Great residential complex in the capital and plans to increase the number of such mini-logistics centers to 100 by 2026, Melezhik added.

He noted that the self-service option is also expanding: 25 such branches are planned to open this year.

“Currently, this service is available at two branches—the 26th and 256th in Kyiv. Today, one in four parcels is received by the customer without the involvement of an operator,” Melezhik clarified.

The appearance of the parcel lockers will also be updated depending on their location. It will now be possible to receive a reminder about a delivered parcel even without a mobile app. To this end, SMS notifications will be introduced, the company’s customer service director announced.

“In addition, we are currently testing a new format of parcel lockers with screens. This feature is better suited for large parcel lockers with numerous compartments—the screen will highlight the compartment the customer needs for sending or receiving. Therefore, this is more of a pilot implementation than a system-wide one,” added Melezhik.

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. He clarified that 430 Nova Poshta branches and 2,300 employees are operating in frontline territories.

Nova Poshta currently has 51,852 service points in Ukraine, including 15,913 branches of various formats and 35,939 parcel lockers.

In 2025, the company increased its revenue by 21% compared to 2024—to more than 54 billion UAH, and its profit amounted to 2.6 billion UAH compared to 2.5 billion UAH a year earlier. The number of parcels and shipments delivered in 2025 grew by 7.4%—from 486 million to 522 million—including international shipments, which increased by 52.6%, from 19 million to 29 million.
