Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Australia have declared a postal blockade on Russia

As a sign of support for Ukraine, the world's mail began to stop cooperation with Russia and Belarus.

What is known

The post offices of Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Australia have already submitted documents to the Universal Postal Union to stop delivering items to Russia and Belarus. The postal blockade of the aggressor countries was also joined by the Latvian Post, which in March stopped postal money transfers to these countries.

“The postal blockade is the result of the work of Ukrainian diplomats, volunteers, the Ukrainian diaspora and, of course, "Ukrposhti", which, as a designated operator of a member country of the Universal Postal Union, has repeatedly appealed to colleagues from post offices of other countries with a call to break ties with Russia. I hope that the rest of the mail will also soon join our six and stop delivering items to Russia and Belarus. This is important, because with the imposition of sanctions and the exit of companies from the Russian market, the post office has become a channel for importing sanctioned goods. Therefore, it is very important that postal operators support the actions of their countries to suppress Russian aggression and stop delivering items to Russia and Belarus. Thanks to those post offices that have already done this for their support and principled position,” commented Igor Smilyansky, General Director of Ukrposhti.

By the way, with regard to "Ukrposhti, the company stopped deliveries to/from Russia and Belarus from the first days of the war. All parcels from Russia and Belarus that have already arrived at Ukrposhta were sent back to the addressees.
