“In 2023, the number of parcels sent increased by 40%. It is also worth mentioning the 15 million parcels that Ukrposhta and Ukrzaliznytsia transported together – this is a convenient and effective collaboration between two state-owned companies,” Smelyansky said.

In 2022, Ukrposhta delivered 41.5 million parcels and paid out 9.3 million transfers.
Among other achievements of the past year, Smelyansky mentioned the establishment of air service with the United States. “This is important for our entrepreneurs. After all, even during a full-scale war, more than 1 million Ukrainian goods are successfully sold on American marketplaces,” he explained.
Separately, the Ukrposhta CEO emphasized the importance of loan agreements with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development worth EUR 63 million and the European Investment Bank worth EUR 30 million.
