Nova Poshta has implemented a private air defense project and already has downed Russian strike drones. The company is also developing its own capabilities to extinguish fires that arise at facilities as a result of enemy attacks.
How Nova Poshta develops its own air defense system
The company has become one of the few that managed to implement a private air defense project. This was reported by Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of the Nova group of companies, writes Interfax-Ukraine.
"We are one of the few companies that implemented this project. I do not want to disclose figures to you, but we have downed Shaheds"
— said Klimov.
The co-owner of Nova emphasized that business can take on tasks that before the full-scale invasion were considered the sole responsibility of the state. In his view, the development of private air defense remains an important direction for enterprises operating under constant Russian attacks.
Why companies need their own fire departments
In addition to air defense, Nova Poshta is developing the ability to independently extinguish fires at its facilities. Klimov said that company employees extinguish a substantial portion of the blazes that occur after attacks, not waiting for the arrival of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
Now large businesses are looking in Europe for fire engines to create their own services. This is our property; what is the problem, who can forbid me from fighting a fire on my own premises?
— Klimov noted.
Recall that the core line of Nova Poshta's business is express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized large-size cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperešnuk and Vyacheslav Klimov.
In the first half of 2026 year, the company's financial results rose compared with the same period of the previous year:
consolidated net profit rose by 24,3% to 2,195 billion hryvnias;
revenue grew by 31,8% to 39,127 billion hryvnias.
As of 13 July 2026 year, the Nova Poshta network had 54,7 thousand service points across Ukraine.
