23.03.2022

As of 22 March, 2022, Ukrposhta delivered 80% of pensions (or UAH 8.4 billion). Delivery of pensions is carried out in all regions. In most regions the pension outpayment persentage is 93-99%. It has not yet been possible to pay all pensions in the areas where active combat actions are taking place. Thus, 16% of pensions were paid out in Chernihiv oblast, 48% in Zaporizhia oblast, 50% in Kharkiv oblast, 57% in Kherson oblast, and 60% in Sumy oblast. As soon as humanitarian routes are formed to cities that are under fire or are temporarily occupied by Russian invaders, Ukrposhta will immediately deliver the payments. Also, the pension payments level is lower because of the fact that due to hostilities many Ukrainians have changed their place of residence and not all of them have informed about their address change.

"As of March 22, Ukrposhta delivered almost 80% of pensions. And this 80% is the result of hard work of the entire Ukrposhta team and the efforts of our employees to bring pensions and other payments to the addressees. For all the three weeks, my colleagues and I constantly in touch with the members of Ukrainian armed forces, rebuilding routes, looking for prompt and creative solutions to bypass enemy checkpoints, find cash in a besieged city or region and provide people with basic necessities goods. Unfortunately, there are still some areas that we can't reach. But our defenders do their job every day, recapturing our towns and villages from the invaders and we at Ukrposhta are already starting our cars to make our job just after Ukrainian warriors", - the Director General of Ukrposhta Igor Smelyanskyi commented.
