Impact of events in 2014
The events of 2014 narrowed the scope of the company's geographical activities: in April of this year, Ukrposhta ceased operations in the Crimea and Sevastopol, and in December left the territories of the unrecognized DPR and LPR. On the basis of its infrastructure in these regions, the “Post of Crimea” (from April 21), “Post of Donbass” (from December 2) and “LNR Post” appeared respectively. For reference, as of the beginning of 2014, Ukrposhta had 553 post offices and 221 vehicles to transport mail to Crimea. About 4.7 thousand people, or about 5% of its workforce, were involved in the directorates of Ukrposhta on the peninsula.
Starting from March 27, 2014, postal items sent by "Ukrposhta" from the mainland of Ukraine are not accepted by the postal service of Crimea and Sevastopol and are returned back. Under these circumstances, "Ukrposhta" is not able to forward postal items to the Crimean peninsula. Given the current situation, Ukrposhta has suspended the acceptance of postal items to Crimea.
