2014 Impact

The events of 2014 narrowed the field of geographical activity of the company: in April of this year, Ukrposhta ceased its activities in the Crimea and Sevastopol ^[2] , and in December left the territories of unrecognized DPR and LPR . On the basis of its infrastructure in these regions, the “ Post of Crimea ” (from April 21), the “ Post of Donbass ” (from December 2) ^[3], and the “ Post of LPR ” ^[4] arose. For reference, as of the beginning of 2014, Ukrposhta had 553 post offices and 221 units of vehicles for transporting mail to the Crimea. The directorates of Ukrposhta on the peninsula involved about 4.7 thousand people, or about 5% of its workforce.

Beginning March 27, 2014, mail sent by the Ukrposhta UGPS from the mainland of Ukraine will not be accepted by the postal service of the Crimea and Sevastopol and will be returned ^[5] . Under these circumstances, the Ukrposhta State Post Office does not have the ability to forward mail to the Crimea peninsula . Given the current situation, Ukrposhta suspended the reception of mail in the Crimea.
