The National Bank of Ukraine suspects Ukrposhta of money laundering. The amount involved is 11 billion hryvnias, from 2022 to 2023 years.
What Smiianskyi says about the money-laundering accusations
At the same time, Smiianskyi stated that responsibility is being shifted only onto Ukrposhta, which he said in a comment to Suspline.
He noted, in particular, that the National Bank is not informing how it calculated that the cash deposited by Ukrposhta to Oschadbank was 'stolen'.
Ihor Smilyanskyi
General Director of Ukrposhta
If the bills were stolen, their serial numbers should have been in the banks’ database as early as 2023 year. Why was this not detected immediately, but only in 2026?
The company’s CEO also recalled that Ukrposhta had stopped cooperating with cash-loading terminal companies. And this happened in 2023 year.

It turns out we reacted earlier, and responsibility is shifted only onto Ukrposhta. It’s convenient, because press releases always blame Ukrposhta. I understand that fundamentally Smilyanskyi is to blame for everything—even the dollar rate or the refinancing rate,
—said Smilyanskyi.
He emphasized that the National Bank’s accusations against Ukrposhta can be easily refuted with documents. Ihor Smilyanskyi also added that NBU accusations are often illogical.
Recall that the National Bank found that Ukrposhta could have helped 'clean' 11 billion hryvnias in the first year of the full-scale invasion. This is stated in an EP investigation.
According to the data, Ukrposhta accepted cash receipts from companies. Its total amount was 11,9 billion hryvnias, of which 11,4 billion hryvnias came from six LLCs. The main complaint of the NBU is that Ukrposhta during this period did not implement financial monitoring measures.
In particular, the NBU had already demanded Smilyanskyi’s dismissal. Smilyanskyi himself also commented on similar statements.
