“Ukrposhta” is ready to open a branch in the settlement of Suja, occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the territory of the Russian Federation, if it receives instructions from the headquarters for work in liberated territories under the Cabinet of Ministers, General Director of “Ukrposhta” Ihor Smilyanskyi told the “Interfax-Ukraine” agency.
At the same time, the company responded to the agency’s request that two main conditions must be met: guaranteeing the safety of the company’s employees and the availability of funding sources.
“Ukrposhta” is ready to open in Suja under two key conditions: the first is a sufficient level of security conditions, in particular, for our employees and people in the territories. It is not about guaranteeing 100% safety, because even in Ukraine today it is impossible, but about an acceptable level of risk. The second is the adoption of the appropriate decision and sources of financing,” the press service of JSC “Ukrposhta” quotes Ihor Smilyanskyi.
Sources of funding for pensions or humanitarian/social aid in Kursk or Belgorod regions can be frozen funds of the Russian Federation, the text states.
“The same applies to the delivery of parcels to our boys and girls in the Armed Forces. In this case, we open and deliver, or deliver in mobile units. Maybe a new type of mobile department will be needed – something like a “Kozak” machine, – the press service of the company speculated.
Permission to open Ukrposhta branches on Russian territory can be approved by the headquarters for work in liberated territories under the Cabinet of Ministers.
“Usually, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine creates a headquarters for work in the liberated territories. The headquarters works out decisions that are submitted to the CMU or the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (following the example of Kharkiv Oblast and Kherson Oblast in 2023). Therefore, all the mechanisms have already been worked out, and as soon as there is a suitable solution, we can apply it,” Ukrposhta reported.
Earlier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported to the head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyi about the destruction of the enemy group in the city of Suja, Kursk Region. In Suja, the distribution of rubber aid to the residents who remained in the city has begun.
