:postcard: Mail Suspension Alerts

I think everybody who sends mail to UA or RU should add the returning address on the postcard as things can change very fast.

I’ll scan my cards to both countries (picture and written side) and will contact my partners when the cards expire to ask if they want me to send it via e-mail. I would not show my postcard ID as I never ask to register a postcard when it hasn’t arrived. And if cards get returned I’ll keep them to send again whenever it’s possible.

As it looks like almost no flights to or from RU and UA are possible now, mail will take more time than normal - and RU always has been slow to some regions.

They could send it through a 3rd country, but I imagine there will be a big update on the postal monitor tomorrow. I wouldn’t draw any addresses until that happens.

Postal Monitor was updated for:
France, Korea (South), Malaysia.

@Violet2022 France-Ukraine was added to Postal Monitor.
Thank you for contacting La Poste for the verification!

The Irish post company, an post, has announced that all post to Moldova, Ukraine and Russia are suspended, kinda sad cuz I just saw it and I sent a postcard to Russia 40 minutes ago in the post office.

Can you share a screenshot of your communication with them?

This is the answer I received from the callcenter this afternoon (on the phone). I asked where I could find this update but as this is fresh news (from today) Bpost website has not been updated yet. It would be done in the coming days. I posted this news already because some other Belgian postcrossers might be interested to know.
If you prefer, I can delete my message and re-post once Bpost website has been updated?

No, no — no need to delete your post about it, in fact, we appreciate that you let us know! :+1:

But as we always try to update the postal monitor with a source we can verify (ideally an official one) and point to, we’ll need to wait for their website to update. Hopefully they will do it soon.
