Poczta Polska stands in solidarity with Ukraine, which has been attacked by Russia, and is sending material aid to be received on the Ukrainian side by the Ukrainian Post, UKRPOSHTA. The value of the aid exceeds 224,000 PLN, sourced from the funds of the “Pocztowy Dar” Foundation, companies within the Poczta Polska group, and partner firms.
Since the beginning of the Russian aggression, Poczta Polska has been supporting Ukraine in many ways. Conversations with Ukrainian postal workers are ongoing. They are often interrupted by air raid sirens calling for people to take shelter and by explosions. In agreement with the Ukrainian Post, Poczta Polska has, among other things, taken on the role of a link for UKRPOSHTA in international postal traffic. Additionally, the Post organized a transport of donations for Ukrainian postal workers, including canned meat, powdered milk and baby puree, hygiene and disinfectant products, wipes, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, blankets, and stretchers for transporting the wounded. The value of the sent donations exceeds 224,000 PLN.
– Our hearts are with the residents of Ukraine, and we are constantly ready to provide them with help in every way available to us. Our humanitarian aid transport will primarily support the employees of the Ukrainian national post and their families. Postal workers from Ukraine have remained in the country and are trying to carry out their tasks, ensuring the continuity of the state’s operations, even though it is currently extremely difficult and dangerous – says Tomasz Zdzikot, President of the Management Board of Poczta Polska.
As part of its solidarity with Ukraine, Poczta Polska has also joined the government’s aid program for our war-affected neighbors. The company has made its resources available to the appropriate state structures, including several hundred accommodation places in postal training and recreation centers and an employee hotel, the transport of Ukrainian citizens from the border to locations in Poland indicated by crisis staffs, special transports for the Government Strategic Reserves Agency, and a readiness to offer jobs, including many positions that do not require knowledge of the Polish language. A special sub-account has also been launched by the Pocztowy Dar Foundation, where money is being collected to help Ukraine, which has been used to purchase items for Ukrainian postal workers. Everyone can help by donating funds to the sub-account number: 36 1320 1104 3014 4239 2000 0005.
