On Khreshchatyk, near the Main Post Office building, an exhibition "Unconquered: Heroes of Ukrposhta" was opened, honoring the memory of postal employees who died in the war.
The stands displayed portraits and stories of 22 workers who died at the hands of the Russian occupiers. Some of them joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the first days of the full-scale war, while others continued to do their work until the last - delivering pensions, humanitarian aid, letters and parcels to Ukrainians even in the hottest spots.
Ukrposhta employees are not just employees, but people who risk their own lives to get to where they are waiting for us. Today we remember those who gave their lives so that Ukraine could survive. We remember each of them, - said the company's CEO Ihor Smilyansky.
During a full-scale war, Ukrposhta continues to operate throughout the country, including in de-occupied territories and frontline areas. In such places, postmen often become the only link between local residents and the outside world, delivering pensions, food, cash, and humanitarian aid.
