Crisis in Ukrposhta: pensions do not reach people, management is getting rich, citizens are suffering losses

In the first quarter of 2025, JSC Ukrposhta recorded losses of UAH 203.7 million. During this short period alone, the company lost 15 court cases against the Pension Fund of Ukraine, which considered cases of non-payment of pensions to the rightful recipients. There are still many similar lawsuits across the country, and new decisions in favor of pensioners to whom the post office has not delivered the money they are owed are expected during the year.

Despite this financial situation, the head of the enterprise, Ihor #Smilyansky, continues to receive a salary of about 1.2 million hryvnias per month. This imbalance between the economic situation of the state-owned enterprise and the level of remuneration of its management raises legitimate questions about the efficiency of management and priorities in the use of funds.

In parallel with the financial problems, Ukrposhta found itself at the center of a high-profile scandal due to the revealed scheme of automatically debiting funds from customers in favor of the Kyiv School of Economics charity fund without their consent. If contributions were previously voluntary, then later the system was changed in such a way that it became impossible to refuse payments. The elderly, who were unaware of these additional debits, suffered the most.

According to open sources, in 2023 alone, the fund received over 50 million hryvnias from such cooperation. No official reports on the use of these funds for the declared projects have been published. It is also known that the military units to which, according to the documents, the aid was allegedly transferred did not confirm its receipt.

The combination of financial losses, lost lawsuits, overstated payments to management, and dubious charity schemes creates a picture of a systemic crisis at Ukrposhta.
