Ukraine's state postal service Ukrposhta said on Monday it has launched the express delivery of goods from Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com.

While previously the shipping of goods from the JD.com to buyers in Ukraine took about 45 days, now it takes no more than 14 days, said a statement on the website of Ukrposhta.

The express delivery is carried out through the newly-established JD-UKRPOSHTA service, it said.

Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian government-run postal operator, has 12,800 offices throughout the country. Last year, Ukrposhta delivered 21.1 million parcels to its consumers.

JD.com is one of the leading e-commerce platforms in China, which has about 301.8 million active users.
