Update: 22 December 2020
Following the announcement from the French government to restrict air, road, ferry and train travel from the UK to France from midnight on December 20 for a period of 48 hours, Royal Mail has temporarily suspended all mail services to Russia. This is a fast-moving situation and we're monitoring things on an hourly basis. We're working to keep as many international mail services running as possible given the current restrictions. Items already in the system will be processed as normal and prepared for dispatch. These items will be held securely until we're able to get them to their relevant destinations. We're keeping the situation under close and constant review.
