Eh given how basically nobody has the stomach to even send troops to Ukraine right now I’m going to bet absolutely not.

For those of us who pay quarterly taxes or any other payment by December 31, this unheralded change in postal policy can bite you in the butt. This could have other unforeseen consequences (e.g., mail-in balloting), but for now, this is more timely.
