Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s leading express delivery service, operated on Easter for the first time this year: it accepted 276,000 parcels from customers and delivered approximately 500,000 parcels, according to the company’s co-founder Volodymyr Poperešniuk.
“For the first time, Nova Poshta operated on Easter… It might seem like we were just doing our job, but we gave hundreds of thousands of people a pleasant experience on this holiday,” Poperechnyuk wrote on Facebook, thanking the company’s employees who came to work.
As reported, on Easter, April 12, the company operated on a reduced schedule—from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
“Nova Poshta” currently has 51,852 service points in Ukraine, including 15,913 branches of various formats and 35,939 parcel terminals.
As reported, in 2025 the company increased the number of delivered parcels and shipments by 7.4%—from 486 million to 522 million—including international shipments, which rose by 52.6%, from 19 million to 29 million. Its revenue grew by 21% compared to 2024—to more than 54 billion UAH, while profit amounted to 2.6 billion UAH compared to 2.5 billion UAH a year earlier.
Nova Poshta’s core business is express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized oversized cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperechnyuk and Vyacheslav Klimov.
Ukrposhta JSC is launching its first 70 parcel lockers in Kyiv and a parcel tracking feature in the “Ukrposhta 2.0” mobile app; in a few weeks, the company plans to open another 30 parcel lockers in Odesa.
“Now you can redirect your parcels within Ukraine and from AliExpress or Temu for free (if the parcel hasn’t reached the branch yet): to a parcel locker (yes, without any extra fees), to another branch, extend the storage period, or change the recipient,” wrote Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky on Telegram on Tuesday.
According to him, if a package is already at a branch and the customer needs a different branch or a parcel locker, it is possible to redirect the package at the standard rate.
It is noted that the package will be stored in a parcel locker free of charge for up to seven days; thereafter, if the customer does not pick it up, it will be sent to the nearest branch.
The CEO of Ukrposhta clarified that for the first few weeks, prepaid parcels will be available for delivery to parcel lockers, while in a few weeks the company plans to launch in-app payment.
“Ukrposhta plans to launch about 1,000 parcel lockers by the end of this year (and maybe even more, if you like it),” added Smiliansky.
“We have many exciting changes planned for the near future, which we’ve been working on for a long time (sometimes too long—I admit), but now we’re happy to make these changes available to you at the best rates on the market! Use the service and provide feedback,” noted the CEO of Ukrposhta.
In turn, Ukrposhta clarified that starting today, corporate clients who work with the company via API also have the ability to manage their shipments.
The national postal operator also announced that for those who submit requests at branches, Ukrposhta will maintain this option for a few weeks. However, after the transition period, all requests submitted at branches will be discontinued and moved to the app to reduce lines.
JSC “Ukrposhta” is the national postal operator that provides postal, logistics, financial, and commercial services to private and corporate clients. The company has over 6,000 branches and 26,000 service points throughout Ukraine.
Ukrposhta plans to launch parcel delivery agent points in cafes, shops, and other service locations at the end of the first quarter of 2026, the company’s CEO Ihor Smelyansky told Interfax-Ukraine.
“They sign a contract with us for parcel delivery, and we pay them for each delivery. In other words, this does not entail any capital expenditures or expensive repairs. After all, the most effective thing is to quickly expand the network so that it is convenient and profitable for our customers to receive parcels,” Smelyansky explained.
The CEO of Ukrposhta added that the project is currently in the testing phase, and residents of Kyiv can already receive parcels at nine pilot locations.
“Of course, we will monitor the quality to ensure that the quality of parcel delivery is maintained and that all the rules that must be followed are followed. And we will continue to attract new partners,” Smelyansky emphasized.
Separately, the company plans to install about 1,000 parcel machines in early 2026, as well as update its mobile app, which will allow customers to manage their parcels in a way that is convenient for them, including redirecting shipments to other branches or parcel machines.
Earlier, in a comment to the agency, Ukrposhta reported that in 2026 it plans a large-scale modernization of its network of branches throughout the country.
Currently, the company has more than 6,000 branches and 26,000 service points throughout Ukraine.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Ukrposhta received a net profit of UAH 257.9 million, which is 69.2% more than in the same period in 2024, due to additional income from the sale of the company’s property, which amounted to UAH 168 million.
The national postal operator increased its revenue in the fourth quarter by UAH 10.7 million compared to the same period in 2024, to UAH 3 billion 601.6 million.
