Hello, Switzerland doesn’t say it’s not allowing post to Ukraine! It just says urgent is not available. Would be great if this could be changed ASAP!

Looks like this isn’t here yet (updated information):
mainly about delays to Asia (Russia also) but also about suspension to Taiwan which I didn’t know about until now, but looks like the mail to Taiwan will be back next week, so I can’t tell if it’s reasonable to make any changes to giving addresses?

@RalfH As it’s mentioned in the first post, Postal Monitor deals with country-to-country suspensions, not postcode-specific suspensions.
Situations can change rapidly and unexpectedly. It is hard to block certain postcodes.
And if I remember correctly, mail services in Donezkh and Luhansk have been handled by Russia Post for the past several years, but I could be wrong.
I will leave this matter to @Paulo and @meiadeleite

As @Chieusa mentioned, the Postal Monitor only supports granularity at the country level. To block a region/postal code, we would have to block the whole country. This a limitation that also happens when there are natural issues like storms, floods, etc where mail stops only within a certain region — we can’t block in those cases either. Unless it’s a situation where it’s the vast majority of the country, we don’t act in those.

Supporting a higher level of detail is beyond what we can realistically do by ourselves (ie, without direct cooperation from postal operators) as at the country level it is already complex and riddle with uncertainty, incomplete information or sometimes even contradictory information.

I know, but there is a war in that country and the situation is rather turning worse than better. So I wonder if it makes sense to send cards that cannot be delivered anytime soon. But, on the other hand, if they get through, they may spend some hope.

We got a reply from CTT, with a list of transit countries through which mail is sent to small islands and other countries that are missing in their page. Since mail to those transit countries is working, we’re going to remove these suspensions. Hurray!

Thank you very much @meiadeleite !

Any chance you can share with me the CTT reply?

Also I’d also like to add what I find on CTT webpage:

28/02/2022 - Ucrânia
Devido aos mais recentes conflitos internacionais, o Operador Postal Ucraniano, Ukrposhta, informa que continua com todos os esforços para prestar o melhor serviço postal, tanto quanto as circunstâncias lhe permite. O operador afirma que, nesta altura, continua a ter capacidade para receber, processar, transportar e distribuir objetos postais. Porém, estes processos poderão estar sujeitos a alguns atrasos, dadas as circunstâncias referidas e a possíveis complicações com ligações internacionais.

Although it’s not impossible to send mail to there, I’m sure there will be a lot of difficulties to it to reach the destinations, any chance to reduce the probability to send to Ukraine?

All the best!

Canada is not sending mail to the Ukraine and returned my card to me. Also, Canada is not sending mail to Russia, but I have drawn two Russian addresses today. Could we update that so that Canadians don’t get these addresses until we are certain that mail is getting through?

We have added Canada-Russia, Canada-Belarus to Postal Monitor last week.

Canada Post says they are sending to Ukraine, though. I have contacted them for the verification.
