Post of Crimea (ru|Почта Крыма; uk|Пошта Криму; crh|Къырым почтасы) is a federal state unitary enterprise that carries out postal services in Crimea. It was created in 2014, following Russia's annexation of the peninsula. It is not a member of the Universal Postal Union.
One of its tasks is to integrate the postal system of Crimea with that of Russia.[2] Ukrposhta stopped accepting mail and parcels destined for Crimea in April 2014.[3]
Post of Crimea originates from Krympochta and Sevastopolpochta, two locally managed entities which were joined into a single federally-owned company in December 2014.[4] The company was originally intended to exist only for a short transition period, and to be subsequently merged into Russian Post.[5]
