In the Kramatorsk urban hromada of the Donetsk region, the operations of four branches of the state enterprise "Ukrposhta" have been temporarily suspended. The decision to close was made due to the deteriorating security situation in the region, which makes it impossible for these facilities to continue functioning in normal mode.
List of closed branches and reasons for suspension
According to official information published by the Kramatorsk City Council, the operation of post offices has been forcibly discontinued. The list of addresses where services are temporarily unavailable includes four objects within the territory of the hromada. Specific addresses were indicated in the publication by local authorities, however, the relevance of the list may change depending on the operational situation.
The reason for the closure is cited as a direct threat to security, related to ongoing hostilities and rocket shelling. In particular, on August 4, aviation bombs were dropped on the center of Kramatorsk, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties. The next day, on August 5, the city was left without water supply, which further exacerbated the humanitarian situation.
Alternative options for receiving services
Despite the closure of some branches, "Ukrposhta" continues to ensure the provision of services at those points that remain accessible to the population. The City Council emphasizes that residents can receive the full range of postal and financial services at operating branches. This includes sending and receiving letters, parcels, as well as conducting financial transactions.
The company "Ukrposhta" states its commitment to maintaining continuity of operations "as far as the security situation allows". In conditions of instability, the priority remains the preservation of the life and health of employees and clients, therefore the working schedule may be adjusted depending on threats.
Context: strengthening evacuation and humanitarian measures
Parallel to the closure of post offices, the administration of the Donetsk region has strengthened the mandatory evacuation of children from the Kramatorsk hromada. This decision was made in connection with the high probability of repeated shelling and the need to protect the most vulnerable categories of the population.
The humanitarian situation in the region remains tense. The lack of water, damage to infrastructure, and restricted access to basic services, including postal ones, create additional difficulties for residents. Authorities urge the population to pay attention to official messages and follow safety recommendations.
Contradictory data
In various sources, information about the closure of "Ukrposhta" branches in Kramatorsk is presented with slight differences. Some media outlets indicate the exact number of closed objects (four), while others mention only the fact of suspension of work without detailing addresses. There is also no single version regarding the terms of resumption of branch operations — some sources speak of a temporary suspension, others do not clarify the prospects for opening.
Furthermore, some publications mention that some branches may operate in a limited mode, while official statements by the city council speak of a complete suspension of work at certain addresses. These discrepancies require further clarification from "Ukrposhta" and local authorities.
