Russian Post has stopped accepting shipments to Ukraine. This was announced on Thursday, February 24, by the company’s press service on Telegram.
Russian Post temporarily stops accepting shipments to Ukraine and is considering options for transit delivery through other countries.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kiev was breaking off diplomatic relations with Moscow.
On the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his special televised address, announced that a special protection operation would be carried out in the Donbass in order to protect the civilian population.
On February 21, Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the LPR and DPR. Also, the Russian leader and the heads of both republics Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin signed agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance. The documents were ratified the next day by both the republics themselves and the Russian State Duma.
After that, Zelensky accused Russia of hitting the country’s military infrastructure and introduced martial law throughout the country.
The situation in Donbass escalated on February 17. In the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, heavy shelling by Ukrainian security forces was reported, including from heavy weapons. The republics announced a general mobilization and evacuation of civilians to the territory of Russia.
Since 2014, the Ukrainian authorities have been carrying out a military operation against the inhabitants of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup d’état and the new government in Ukraine. At the same time, Kiev blames Moscow for the current situation. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the conflict.
