Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian Postal Service plans to bring the American electronic commerce company Amazon to Ukraine, said postal service General Director Igor Smelyansky on Channel 5. Amazon.com is the world's largest seller of products and services via the Internet.

"Presently we really want to bring Amazon to our country. We are working on this with our partners now because this is international mail and some time is needed,” he said. “Logistically, we are ready but this launch assumes international agreements and in this case we are dealing with the American postal service."

Smelyansky also added that Amazon is a big monopolist and that "they do not move very fast."

"The rest is cooperation with our customs authorities. Customs must increase the number of staff to be able to let these goods through," he added. He is optimistic that Amazon can be launched in Ukraine before the end of 2017.

"I really want for this to happen to before the end of 2017 but I will not promise until I'm sure," the Director of Ukrposhta said.

Earlier, Ukrposhta promised to deliver goods from Amazon through an American postal company.
