The Ukrainian government has a "Hryvnia" (sovereign) roadmap to move all agencies to a unified Trembita system (the Ukrainian analog of Estonia's X-Road). However, due to the war and resource constraints, Zimbra remains deeply entrenched.
There are rumors that the National Police may migrate to a custom Nextcloud instance or a more secure Moodle + Mattermost stack for real-time chat. However, as of 2024–2025, Zimbra on police.gov.ua remains the official standard for internal email.
Given the war in Ukraine, police.gov.ua is a high-value target for Russian threat actors (e.g., APT28, Sandworm, or Gamaredon). Consequently, the Zimbra portal is under constant attack.
Common threats observed against Ukrainian police email systems include: zimbra police gov ua
How the Police Protect the System:
To understand the search term, we must break it down into its three core components:
Thus, "zimbra police gov ua" typically refers to the webmail access portal (e.g., mail.police.gov.ua or zimbra.police.gov.ua) used by Ukrainian police officers for official correspondence. The Ukrainian government has a "Hryvnia" (sovereign) roadmap
Because Zimbra allows custom mail flow rules, Russian intelligence (APT28) has tried to spoof @police.gov.ua addresses. The National Police responded by implementing strict DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records (policy: p=reject), meaning any unauthenticated email claiming to be from police.gov.ua is automatically dropped.

Q: I see zimbra.police.gov.ua in my browser history. Does that mean I was hacked?
A: Not necessarily. If you are a police employee, it is your login portal. If not, you may have encountered a malicious redirect. Clear your cache and run an antivirus scan. How the Police Protect the System: To understand
Q: Why won't the Zimbra login page load from abroad? A: The National Police restricts international access to its webmail interface to reduce attack surfaces. Officers abroad must connect via a VPN provided by the "State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection (SSSCIP)."
Q: Is Zimbra for police the same as "Electronic Court" or other gov platforms? A: No. Zimbra handles only email. Case management and evidence tracking are on separate, classified systems (e.g., "Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations").
