Ukrposhta opened 20 modular branches in frontline regions with the support of Japan

Ukrposhta has deployed 20 new modular branches in frontline regions of Ukraine to ensure the uninterrupted provision of basic postal and social services. The project was implemented with the financial support of the Japanese government.

The Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine reported this.

New mobile branches have already been installed in:

— Dnipropetrovsk region;
— Kharkiv region;
— Sumy region;
— Zaporizhia region;
— Chernihiv region;
— Kherson region.

It is in these regions that a significant part of the stationary postal infrastructure was destroyed or damaged as a result of Russian shelling.

Modular structures with an area of ​​​​20 and 40 square meters are fully equipped for full-fledged work. In terms of functionality, they do not differ from conventional branches and allow providing the full range of basic services.

Thanks to such solutions, residents of frontline communities can continuously receive pensions, social payments, postal items, parcels and other critically important services.

Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba emphasized that ensuring access to public services in frontline communities remains one of the key priorities of the state.

According to the ministry, since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, 49 stationary Ukrposhta branches have been completely destroyed, and another 648 facilities have been damaged. In addition, the company has lost more than 430 vehicles.

The transfer of modular branches took place within the framework of an international emergency recovery and reconstruction project, which is funded by the Japanese government through the Japan International Cooperation Agency and is being implemented jointly with the Ministry of Development and Trade from 2023.

Previously, Ukrposhta has already installed 38 similar modular branches in 16 regions of Ukraine with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The company says it plans to continue expanding this network.
