JSC “Ukrposhta” has signed an agreement with Etsy, one of the world’s largest marketplaces, thereby becoming its official partner, the company’s CEO, Ihor Smilianskyi, announced on Monday.
“Today we completed what we started during our visit to the U.S.: Ukrposhta has signed an agreement with one of the world’s largest marketplaces—Etsy,” Smiliansky wrote on Telegram.
According to him, following the signing, the national postal operator has become Etsy’s verified partner worldwide on behalf of Ukraine.
It is noted that more than 2 million Ukrainian products are sold on Etsy.
The signed agreement provides for a more convenient shipping process for customers; specifically, from now on, shipping and label data will be automatically added during checkout in both the Ukrposhta account and on Etsy.
Among other things, the agreement enables full IT integration between “Ukrposhta” and Etsy, which ultimately makes it possible to sell to any country in the world simultaneously.
‘Ukrposhta’ also clarified that the national postal operator will handle all customs duty calculations (in the U.S. and the EU).
“Thank you to our partners for their trust! This was no simple agreement, and this is the first time a major logistics company in Ukraine has achieved this status,” emphasized the CEO of “Ukrposhta.”
Etsy is an international marketplace specializing in the sale of handmade items, vintage goods, jewelry, and other products.
The state-owned Ukrposhta’s total profit for January–April amounted to 106.3 million UAH, with EBITDA of 122.9 million UAH. The company’s equity reached 2.3 billion UAH without additional budgetary funding.
In January–March 2026, the company reported a net loss of 204.8 million UAH, which is 1.1 million UAH, or 0.5%, higher than in the same period of 2025, while its revenue grew by 1.1% to 13 billion 118.42 billion UAH.
JSC “Ukrposhta” has completed the installation of 38 modular branches in 16 regions, including Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the company’s CEO, Ihor Smilianskyi, announced on Telegram.
According to a press release published by Ukrposhta, the project was implemented thanks to financial support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which allocated EUR 600,000 in the form of an investment grant from the Special Crisis Response Fund.
“At these branches, local residents can receive pensions and social benefits, order medications through the ‘Ukrposhta.Apteka’ service, receive and send packages and letters, pay for utilities, and use financial services,” Smiliansky noted.
The CEO of the postal operator noted that out of the 40 modular branches installed, two were destroyed during the project’s implementation in the Sumy and Donetsk regions.
It is noted that, depending on the number of residents in the community, the company installed two types of modules. Specifically, there are 25 branches with an area of 22 square meters and another 13 with an area of 45 square meters.
These branches are equipped with ramps for people with limited mobility, autonomous heating systems, and the ability to connect to backup power sources to operate during blackouts.
Smilyansky also added that the number of modular branches will continue to grow in the future, funded entirely by Ukrposhta’s own resources.
In total, during the full-scale invasion, 49 of the company’s permanent branches were completely destroyed, and another 648 facilities were damaged.
Over the past month, “Ukrposhta” has also recorded damage to one branch almost every day.
“In recent weeks, we have once again seen how important it is to quickly resume operations. The enemy destroyed our logistics hub in Kharkiv, and after the attack on Kyiv, only a crater remained where the branch in Troyeshchyna used to be. Every day, other facilities come under fire,” the CEO of Ukrposhta is quoted as saying in the press release.
JSC “Ukrposhta” expects to raise more than 22 million UAH from the sale of decommissioned vehicles to modernize the company’s fleet.
“Every rusty UAZ sold is a direct contribution to new long-haul vehicles, modern logistics, delivery speed, and the company’s ability to operate even when the enemy is trying to destroy the infrastructure,” Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smilianskyi is quoted as saying in the press release.
According to him, since the start of the full-scale invasion, “Ukrposhta” has lost 426 vehicles due to shelling and the temporary occupation of territories.
It is noted that during two phases of open auctions conducted through the “Prozorro.Sales” system, the postal operator sold over 1,000 vehicles. Specifically, during the first phase, 716 vehicles were sold, bringing the company approximately 9 million UAH.
“During the second phase, another 316 vehicles were put up for auction. Forty-two auctions have already taken place, and two more are in the final stages, specifically in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions,” the press release states.
Ukrposhta noted that over 600 participants took part in the auctions, which made it possible to nearly double the final value of the lots from 7.7 million hryvnias to a projected 13.7 million hryvnias.
“The most expensive lot in the second stage was the Kyiv lot consisting of 23 Soviet-era vehicles, which sold for 916 thousand UAH. The least expensive was a Mazda 6 for 44 thousand UAH,” the company emphasized.
Separately, the national postal operator noted that it had completed 100% automation of its sorting processes and expanded its fleet with 160 new MAN and IVECO trucks.
The state-owned “Ukrposhta” reported a total profit of 106.3 million UAH for January–April, with EBITDA of 122.9 million UAH. The company’s equity reached 2.3 billion UAH without additional budgetary funding.
In January–March 2026, the company reported a net loss of 204.8 million UAH, which is 1.1 million UAH, or 0.5%, higher than in the same period of 2025, while its revenue grew by 1.1% to 13 billion 118.42 billion UAH.

The national postal operator Ukrposhta has launched a new queue-free parcel pickup service that involves installing special express pickup lockers inside post offices, according to a company statement released on Wednesday.
According to the press release, the first 120 express pickup kiosks have been installed in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. In total, during the first phase, the new system will be implemented in 400 branches, primarily in cities with populations over one million and regional centers.
Ukrposhta explained that some shipments are automatically routed by the company to be picked up via the new format; once the package arrives, the customer receives an SMS with an access code, opens the corresponding section, and picks up the shipment independently without needing to speak to an operator.
It is noted that these lockers are available directly at the branches and operate during their business hours.
“We have long been looking for a way to separate customer flows: those who come only for a package and those who use other services—from utility payments to international money transfers. Testing is still ongoing, but it is already clear: it is possible to pick up a package at Ukrposhta without waiting in line,” the press release quotes Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky as saying.
The company emphasizes that the launch of the new format is part of the national postal operator’s service upgrade.
“Following the completion of 100% automation of sorting processes and the creation of an infrastructure with a potential capacity of up to 3 million shipments per day, the company is gradually transforming the customer experience: expanding the network of parcel lockers, partner pickup points, and new formats for receiving parcels at branches,” Ukrposhta added.
As reported, the state-owned “Ukrposhta” posted a total profit of UAH 106.3 million for January-April, with EBITDA of UAH 122.9 million. The company’s equity reached UAH 2.3 billion without additional budget funding.
In January-March 2026, the company reported a net loss of UAH 204.8 million, which is UAH 1.1 million, or 0.5%, more than in the same period of 2025, while its revenue grew by 1.1% to UAH 13.11842 billion.
The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has imposed a penalty of UAH 1.7 million on JSC “Ukrposhta” for violating the laws governing activities in the payment market, the regulator announced.
It is noted that the relevant decision was adopted on May 18, 2026, by the Committee on Banking Supervision and Regulation, and Oversight of Payment Infrastructure.
The fine was imposed due to the company’s failure, as a provider of financial payment services, to fulfill its obligation to ensure the proper functioning of its corporate governance system, internal control system, and risk management system.
The violation was identified based on the results of an off-site supervision and inspection of the national postal operator conducted on November 1, 2025.
“Ukrposhta” is required to pay the fine within five business days of receiving the committee’s decision.
As previously reported, in March 2026, “Ukrposhta” paid a fine of 255,000 UAH imposed by the NBU for failing to submit the requested information within the established deadlines, while also announcing its intention to challenge the regulator’s decision in court.
In December 2025, the National Bank also issued a written warning to Ukrposhta for violating legal requirements in the payment market, specifically regarding payment services, management systems, and the submission of statistical reports, as determined by the results of off-site supervision.
Ukrposhta reported a net loss of UAH 204.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, which is UAH 1.1 million, or 0.5%, more than in the same period of 2025, but 40% less than projected in the plan. The company’s revenue for this period decreased by 0.1%, or UAH 5 million, to UAH 3.34 billion, which is 2% less than planned.
The state-owned company Ukrposhta reported a total profit of UAH 106.3 million for January–April, with EBITDA of UAH 122.9 million, the company’s CEO Ihor Smiliansky announced on Facebook on Monday.
“EBITDA (operating profit)—a measure of the core business’s performance—improved from a negative 13.6 million UAH to a positive 122.9 million UAH. And this is without taking into account the sale of assets. It consists solely of operating income,” he noted.
According to the CEO, the company’s equity reached UAH 2.3 billion without additional budget funding.
“So, who doesn’t have the cards, and who holds the trump cards right now?” Smiliansky concluded in a remote discussion with Andriy Pyshnyy, Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, regarding Ukrposhta’s financial capacity to “restore and accumulate capital through operating activities” and obtain a banking license.
As reported, Ukrposhta posted a net loss of 204.8 million UAH for January–March 2026, which is 1.1 million UAH, or 0.5%, higher than in the same period of 2025, while its revenue grew by 1.1% to 13.11842 billion UAH.
The company’s equity in the first quarter of this year decreased from UAH 2.208 billion to UAH 2.003 billion.
In April of this year, Ukrposhta received UAH 461.5 million for its building, the former sorting center near the railway station in Lviv, which was purchased by the Eurotek Invest fund owned by Mykhailo Veselskyi, the owner of the Arsen supermarket chain.
