Hello @merci_from_france Welcome back to the forum.
If you have got this address from the main page, then it is also possible to send a card from France there and you are obliged to do so.
However, it may take a little while for your card to arrive.
Good Luck!
I didn’t get the address from the main page. As other users told me, Russian and Ukrainian addresses are now blocked - they are not issued by the postcrossing machine. I am interested in direct swap with Crimean residents now
I was just wondering again today if you have been receiving postal mails from abroad safely these days during this utterly tough time for you there ?
You know, when I created this thread this year of 2022, this war which started in February had not been happening yet and then this war happened soon after I created this thread and I really lost my words…
Recently, I sent to people in Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa and Zaporizhzhya. I really hope they receive mails from me safely.
This week the French newspaper Le Monde had a really interesting article about the “En Ukraine, la poste fait office de ligne de vie” (The Ukrainian Post, a lifeline in a country at war).
Some articles of Le Monde get translated and published in English; I haven’t seen this one so far.
Thank you for sharing your postcard experience between Japan and Ukraina! I think it is a miracle that postal service works well between Japan and Ukraina even though there has been war happening in Ukraina.
As for postal service between Japan and Indonesia, too, sometimes mails seem to be lost en route. I feel sorry about it as I have postcard pals there.
Well, looking at where you want to deliver. (The main thing is that the post office works there, but I think if it is a swap, it should work) It also depends on the situation and the day. Now the post office works quite slowly due to the danger of shelling, power outages, etc. But mail also arrives with inscriptions in Latin. Never had a problem with that. Japan and Ukraine are quite far away, I think you just have to wait.
Thank you for your response. I can wait, no problem. It is just that I was wondering if people in Ukraina have been receiving postal mails safely or not.
I wish people in Ukraina also have received postal mails safely. I wish you all happy mails anytime!

BTW, I got your envelope that you sent on March the 13th - it arrived at March 29th.
I think a bit more than 2 weeks (17 days) on route - is very fast travel
