"Nova Poshta" has implemented a private air defense project and already has shot down Russian strike drones. The company is also developing its own capabilities to extinguish fires that occur 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 were able to implement a private air defense project. This was reported by Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of the Nova group of companies, per Interfax-Ukraine.
"We are one of the few companies that have implemented this project. I don’t want to disclose figures, but we have shot down "Shahed" drones.
— said Klimov.
The Nova co-owner 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 area for companies operating under constant Russian attacks.
Why companies need their own fire services
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 significant portion of fires that arise after attacks, without waiting for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine to arrive.
Now large businesses are seeking fire trucks in Europe to create their own services. This is our property; what is the problem, who can forbid me from putting out a fire on my own premises?
— Klimov noted.
Recall that the main line of business of "Nova Poshta" is express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized oversized cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperechnuk and Vyacheslav Klimov.
In the first half of 2026 year, the company's financial results grew compared with the same period of the previous year:
consolidated net profit increased by 24,3% to 2,195 billion hryvnias;
revenue rose 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.
