Writer Andriy Kokotyukha reported on Facebook that unknown persons set fire to the Ukrposhta office.  According to him, it could have been done in retaliation for the delivery of summonses from the TCC.

Kokotyukha emphasized that Ukrposhta could now become a new target for attacks, following the military vehicles. 

“Our Ukrposhta office was set on fire. They poured fuel oil on the door and set it on fire. At the same time, another branch in the neighborhood was burning in the same way. The post office told me: it was because post office carries TCC summonses. I don't know how the postmen found out about it. Maybe there was some kind of warning. Maybe one of the versions. But as long as the post office did not carry subpoenas, there really were no arsons,” Kokotiukha wrote.
