We are a subsidiary of Kyivstar Group Ltd, part of the international VEON Group, with shares traded on Nasdaq (KYIV; KYIVW).

Operating in Ukraine for 28 years, we are a major taxpayer and employer in the electronic communications market. Over the last three years, we have directed over 3.4 billion UAH towards supporting defense forces, subscribers, and social projects. By July 2023, we provided almost 1.1 billion UAH in humanitarian aid and invested 6.7 billion UAH in rebuilding and developing our telecom network. Together with VEON, we plan to invest 1 billion USD in telecommunication technologies between 2023 and 2027.
