One of its tasks is to integrate the postal system of Crimea with that of Russia.[3] Ukrposhta stopped accepting mail and parcels destined for Crimea in April 2014.[4]

Post of Crimea originates from Krympochta and Sevastopolpochta, two locally managed entities which were joined into a single federally-owned company in December 2014.[5] The company was originally intended to exist only for a short transition period, and to be subsequently merged into Russian Post.[6]
