This fall, the national postal operator JSC “Ukrposhta” opened 11 new rural branches in the Volyn, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, and Rivne regions, while also planning to expand these services to other regions of the country beyond the current border and frontline regions.
“Why there? Well, because the population has grown (we’re talking about villages with 1,200 or more residents), demand for services has increased, we have the support of local communities, and we’ve found good staff,” said Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky on the company’s Telegram channel on Thursday.
According to him, a 12th branch will soon open in the Rivne region as well.
Smiliansky explained that if volumes are insufficient, the relevant villages will continue to be served by mobile branches, which operate under any circumstances.
The Ministry of Recovery, Infrastructure, and Transport of Ukraine, in turn, clarified on its Telegram channel that five branches were opened in Volyn Oblast, four in Ternopil Oblast, and one each in Khmelnytskyi and Rivne Oblasts.
It is expected that customers at these branches will be able to send and receive packages, letters, and international mail, as well as make money transfers, pay utility and other bills, and receive pensions and social benefits.
As previously reported, Ukrposhta increased its revenue by 4.2% in the first half of this year—to 6.776 billion hryvnias—and posted a net profit of 92 million hryvnias, compared to a net loss of 312 million hryvnias in the first half of last year.
The national postal operator has 7,200 customer service locations, including 2,000 mobile postal branches serving 21,300 settlements. The average number of employees at the national postal operator for the second quarter of 2026 was 25,800, and the average salary was 20,300 UAH.
Nova Poshta, the leader in express delivery in Ukraine and part of the NOVA group, opened 23 new branches, transported 7, and installed 521 parcel terminals in January 2026, the company’s CEO Yevhen Tafiychuk announced on Facebook on Wednesday.
According to him, 10.3 million customers used the company’s services in January, with 50% more exports and 81% more imports delivered internationally compared to January 2025.
“We launched an exporter school because it is important for us to share our experience,” added the CEO of Nova Poshta.
Tafiychuk also reported that Nova Poshta transported 201,000 parcels in January as part of a humanitarian aid program.
At the end of January, in an interview with LIGA.net, the CEO of Nova Poshta announced that in 2026, the company plans to open about 10,000 new service points, including nearly 6,000 parcel terminals and approximately 300 branches of its own network.
As of early January 2026, the company’s network had more than 50,000 service points, including 15,900 branches and 34,200 parcel terminals.
In 2025, Nova Poshta increased its revenue by 21% compared to 2024, to more than UAH 54 billion, and its profit amounted to UAH 2.6 billion compared to UAH 2.5 billion a year earlier. The number of parcels and cargo delivered in 2025 increased by 7.4% – from 486 million to 522 million, including international deliveries – by 52.6%, from 19 million to 29 million.
The main activity of Nova Poshta is the express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized large-sized cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperechnyuk and Vyacheslav Klimov.
The national postal operator Ukrposhta has announced the launch of its own network of parcel terminals manufactured by the Ukrainian company Modern Expo, according to the company’s CEO Ihor Smelyansky.
The Prozorro electronic procurement system indicates that the cost of the tender announced on September 16 was UAH 20.79 million. The sole participant, a Ukrainian-Polish joint venture in the form of Modern Expo LLC, was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on October 13.
“Today, Ukrposhta can announce the signing of an agreement for the supply of its own post office boxes — importantly, Ukrainian-made — with the market leader, Modern Expo,” Smelyansky wrote on Telegram on Tuesday.
The company’s CEO specified that the first 100 parcel terminals are planned to be installed before the New Year: 70 in Kyiv and 30 in Odesa.
According to him, access to parcels is possible both through the app and through a PIN code on a keyboard with metal buttons. The parcel locker will allow users to both receive parcels and send letters.
According to the agreement, two types of parcel terminals will be supplied: standard and extended autonomy, designed to operate in autonomous mode and with enhanced security standards. The cost of batteries for extended autonomy parcel terminals is four times higher than for standard ones, and charging devices are three times more expensive.
The Prozorro system also states that since the beginning of 2024, Ukrposhta has made several similar purchases of self-service postal terminals (postal terminals) with installation. The cost of those tenders was lower than the agreement with Modern Expo, but the contracts concluded with other winners were subsequently terminated due to their failure to fulfill their obligations.
