Ukrposhta

Ukrposhta operated within the Soviet Ministry of Telecommunications (Administration of Postal Communication) as its republican branch on territory of the Ukrainian SSR and was centered in Moscow. The Ukrainian SSR did not have a separate system of telecommunications and was completely integrated within the Soviet system of telecommunications. As part of the Gorbachev reforms (perestroika and decentralization, see Union of Sovereign States), in 1991, Ukrtelecom was created in Soviet Ukraine which took over administration of all means of communication such as postal and signal.

In 1994 Ukrposhta started to operate as a separate business entity following the restructuring of Ukrtelecom, after which Ukrposhta has been providing postal service, while Ukrtelecom has been providing telephone and telegraph services.

In July 1998, Ukrposhta was reformed again on a government request.

It is currently managed by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decrees.

Ukrposhta's activities are regulated by the Law of Ukraine "On Postal Service" (in force since 4 October 2001) and other laws including regulations of the UPU.

In 2022, JSC Ukrposhta directed over 150 million UAH to humanitarian and charitable needs: support for business relocation and business support, delivery of important humanitarian cargoes (over a thousand 20-ton trucks), joint with Ukrzaliznytsia payments to passengers of evacuation trains, transferring AFU equipment, military gear, generators, medications, etc., supporting educational projects and helping animals.

In July 2023, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) reallocated part of a previously allocated loan to enhance the operational resilience of "Ukrposhta." €22.7 million will go towards the purchase of over 5000 electric bicycles and about 350 trucks.

In April 2024, it was reported that Ukrposhta is selling 531 units of outdated transport — cars, trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, tractors — on the ProZorro platform.
