Russian Post Resumes U.S. Mail and Package Deliveries
Russian Post said the restored service will route parcels through third countries after delays caused by airspace bans and sanctions.
- Russian Post announced Thursday it has resumed accepting regular mail and package deliveries from the United States, with the first shipments already arriving in Russia in late May.
- The suspension began shortly after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, when the United States and Russia banned each other's airlines from their respective airspaces, cutting off standard shipping routes.
- To bypass these restrictions, packages are now flown through third countries, though the postal service did not name the specific transit nations or provide a delivery timeline.
- A previous partnership with a Hong Kong-based subsidiary faced nine-month delays, as Chinese banks limited payment processing due to concerns regarding secondary Western sanctions.
- The company described consumer goods from the United States as "among the most significant" for clients, with imports exceeding over 110,000 pounds before 2022; a TASS source confirmed full resumption makes service available nationwide.
