E-mail I got from Stamps.com:

ATTENTION: SHIPPERS TO UKRAINE
All USPS Deliveries to Crimea and Sevastopol have been suspended.

Effective April 11, 2014, the United States Postal Service® has temporarily suspended mail service to Crimea and Sevastopol in Ukraine (postal codes 95000-99999).

Until further notice, all Post Office™ and other acceptance locations will not accept any mail destined to Crimea, Ukraine. The temporary suspension affects Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG), Priority Mail Express International®, Priority Mail International®, and First-Class Mail International®, First-Class Package International Service™, International Priority Airmail™ (IPA®) International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®), and M-Bag items.

For already deposited items addressed to these destinations, Postal Service employees will endorse them "Mail Service Temporarily Suspended - Return to Sender" and then place them in the mailstream for return.

Upon request, the Postal Service will refund postage and fees on mail returned due to the temporary suspension of service, if the package was mailed prior to April 17, 2014.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We will let you know when delivery service has resumed.

If you have any questions please call our customer service department at 1-855-860-7867.

Thank you,
Your Stamps.com Support Team
