1. Logistics Cluster Key Updates

transport services 

• The Logistics Cluster provided an overview of its service delivery. Since the beginning of the year, the Cluster has supported 37 organisations in eastern Ukraine with transport services, delivering to 99 locations and facilitating the movement of 1,134 metric tons of humanitarian cargo, as well as organising 16 inter‑agency convoys. During the reporting period, convoy operations were primarily conducted in Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts.
• Requests must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance with precise GPS coordinates. Transport services cover all Ukraine, with the condition that at least one destination along each route must cover frontline areas; exceptions apply only to medical cargo, which is granted priority status.

Storage services 

• The Cluster operates two warehouses in the East – in Dnipro and Kharkiv. Dnipro provides both racking and floor storage, including outdoor space for large items. Kharkiv offers mainly indoor floor storage. For today, the Kharkiv storage capacity is available for fuel briquettes that are free from hazardous chemical treatment. Storage requests must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance, including full information on cargo and delivery details. Standard storage duration is up to 60 days, with possible extension.
• The Logistics Cluster reminded partners of the newly updated Logistics Cluster website, including improved navigation and access to operational information. Partners were encouraged to submit requests through the online Service Request Form (SRF). The Cluster reaffirmed its commitment to providing individual support to partners, including guidance on service requests and system use, to improve efficiency in coordination and service delivery.

2. Impact of the Strike on WFP Warehouse in Dnipro (25 May 2026)

• Some WFP warehouse storing modules were damaged, reducing storage capacity. The Cluster shared its space with WFP to maintain operations. On 19 June, a new module with the same address but another loading ramp is being prepared to restore full Cluster capacity. 
• Due to roof damage and rain, the goods of two partners were partially affected. One partner is receiving support for segregation and repackaging. 
• A response plan has been developed, and actions are underway to address and mitigate the consequences of the incident at the warehouse to restore full capacity, including the connections between storage modules. Operations continue, Dnipro remains a key logistics hub in the east of Ukraine.

3. Training opportunities

• Under capacity‑building activities, the Cluster presented ongoing learning opportunities:
  • Online self‑paced format course on import and customs clearance procedures available in Ukrainian is ongoing with 73 participants until 7 July, the registration is closed. The certificate is provided by the Help Logistics after successfully passed test. The next slot will be available from 12 October till 30 November.
  • The Cluster continues to deliver its two full days Introductory Logistics Cluster Training on a quarterly basis, with the next session planned to take place in Kyiv on 24–25 June. The registration is closed with 30 participants. The last call for action for those who is interested is available till Friday COB. These activities aim to improve logistics skills and knowledge of the humanitarian system, as well as networking.
  • The WeLearn platform with many courses is available for access to an online training after proper registration.

3. AOB

• Humanitarian organisations are invited to share with the Logistics Cluster at ukraine.logisticscluster@wfp.org their experience and logistics challenges they are facing in Ukraine operation.   
• Information on Logistics Cluster coordination and communication channels is disseminated through the Ukraine Logistics Cluster mailing list (over 600 participants), a dedicated WhatsApp group (over 300 participants), and the official website (Ukraine Emergency | Logistics Cluster Website), with partners able to join via a registration form to facilitate information exchange and engagement.
• Participants encouraged the use of online applications for faster processing. Upon issuance of the PDF confirmation, it is ensured that the request has been manually reviewed and processed by Logistics Cluster staff and transmitted to the service provider, indicating that operational action has been initiated in contrast to previous automated system acknowledgements.
• Insurance was discussed: the Cluster does not insure cargo but can provide official reports for insurance purposes. Logistics Cluster conditions of service can be found here.
• Participants gave positive feedback about cluster services, highlighting reduced operational costs and improved delivery efficiency, easy-to-use online request system, strong coordination in transport and storage.

The preliminary date of the next sub-national coordination meeting for eastern oblasts is 30 July in Zaporizhzhia, subject to confirmation based on the security advisory.
