Individuals will now be able to verify Starlink at branches of Ukraine’s leading express delivery service Nova Poshta, part of the NOVA group, as well as the national postal operator Ukrposhta, according to a statement from the Ministry of Digital Transformation on Tuesday.
“We are launching a new stage of registration for terminals in Ukraine. Individuals can now verify Starlink not only at the Administrative Services Center, but also at the nearest Nova Poshta or Ukrposhta branches,” the Ministry of Digital Transformation wrote on its Telegram channel.
According to a release from Nova Poshta, individuals will be able to register up to three devices per person at its branches. If you have one Starlink, you can verify it remotely.
“If you have more than one device, you need to have them with you when you visit the branch,” the company added.
Ukrposhta also reported that in order to register several terminals, you must have them with you when registering at the branch.
In addition, it is noted that to register a terminal, you must provide the operator with your passport (ID card or foreign passport), RNOKPP (identification code), KIT number (serial number of the kit), UTID (unique terminal identifier) and/or Dish ID (antenna/terminal identifier), account number on the Starlink terminal portal, as well as a link to the portal where you can check this number.
As explained by Nova Poshta, a separate document is created for each Starlink terminal. Once completed, the data is automatically transferred to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
In turn, Ukrposhta reported that after submitting an application through its branch or the Administrative Services Center and its registration, the terminal will automatically resume operation within 72 hours.
“An SMS message will be sent to confirm the successful acceptance of the application,” the company added.
At the end of January, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced that the ministry’s team, after contacting SpaceX, had proposed ways to solve the problem with Starlink satellite communication terminals.
The first reaction was to limit the speed at which Starlink operates in Ukraine.
However, as a long-term solution, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution on the introduction of a “white list” for Starlink, thanks to which only verified and registered terminals will operate in Ukraine, while others will be disconnected.
On February 4, Fedorov appealed to the commanders of the Defense Forces at all levels to organize the verification of Starlink terminals. To do this, all Starlink terminal numbers must be transferred to the “white list” through the DELTA system.
According to him, the Starlink verification process is actively underway in Ukraine, with citizens already adding terminals to the “white list” to ensure their operation.
As of the end of summer 2025, according to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, approximately 50,000 Starlink terminals have been delivered since the start of the war thanks to the support of international partners. In addition to Poland, Germany is also paying for their operation. In addition, Starlink terminals are being imported and used in Ukraine by other users who pay for them themselves. The total number of Starlink terminals in Ukraine at that time was estimated at approximately 100,000.
The national postal operator Ukrposhta has completed its second auction on Prozorro.Prozori, selling 716 decommissioned vehicles for UAH 9 million, and is preparing to sell another 250 cars, according to the company’s CEO, Ihor Smelyansky.
“In exchange for this ‘loss’, Ukrposhta received UAH 9 million. It also received thousands of square meters of free space and millions of hryvnias, which it will now save on storage, accounting, and maintenance of these cars,” Smelyansky wrote on Telegram on Monday.
According to him, 716 units of obsolete equipment were sold, ranging from a 1979 GAZ-52 from Poltava to a Volvo FH12 truck. The average mileage of each vehicle put up for auction was about 470,000 km, and the physical wear and tear of the fleet reached 96%.
In addition, it is noted that some of the vehicles were purchased by organizations and will be used for spare parts for the needs of the army and volunteer initiatives.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Ukrposhta received a net profit of UAH 257.9 million, which exceeded the figure for the same period in 2024 by 69.2% 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.
Ukrposhta has issued a new postage stamp to mark the 30th anniversary of the Ukrainian Antarctic station Akademik Vernadsky, which was transferred to Ukraine by the United Kingdom exactly 30 years ago on February 6, 1996, under the name Faraday, and was later renamed.
“Today we are launching the first corporate stamp after rebranding, so we are taking the new stamp to the station to make everything modern. Thank you to everyone who worked on this issue. I want to wish the expedition all the best,” said Ihor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta, during the special cancellation.
It is noted that for the first time in the history of the station, the 31st Ukrainian Antarctic expedition, which will last from 2026 to 2027, will be led by meteorologist Anzhelika Hanchuk, who was a member of the 27th Ukrainian expedition in 2022-2023 and was involved in meteorological, oceanographic, and other research at the station.
“My task this year, as with other base commanders, will be to ensure that our station functions and all tasks are completed,” said Anzhelika Hanchuk, head of the upcoming 31st Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition.
On the eve of the expedition, Yevhen Dykyi, director of the National Antarctic Scientific Center, noted that since 2018, there has been a real gender breakthrough in the Ukrainian Antarctic program.
From an unspoken ban on women participating in expeditions for almost 20 years to the first female base commander. In total, 13 female polar explorers have worked in annual expeditions since 2018, and 11 in seasonal expeditions.
Ukrposhta added that the stamp has a circulation of 630,000 copies, and the nominal value on the postage stamp is indicated by the letter “U,” which is equivalent to 24 hryvnia. The stamp has an unusual shape—it is round, and the margins of the sheet feature a photo of the station and the Ukrainian ship Noosfera.
