Kyivstar restores voice services across Ukraine, starts the
reactivation of mobile data services
Amsterdam, 14 December 2023 – VEON Ltd.
(NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator
that provides converged connectivity and online services, today
announces that, following Tuesday’s widespread cyber-attack and the
subsequent service outage, its Ukrainian subsidiary Kyivstar is
restoring connectivity on its networks.
According to the latest updates from Kyivstar, in the territory
controlled by Ukraine:
- More than 90% of mobile base stations are now operational
- Voice services have been switched on across the country
- Data connectivity on the fixed network is now active and
available
- Re-activation of mobile data connectivity has also begun,
starting with Ivano-Frankivsk in Western Ukraine – the first region
where mobile internet is restored.
To avoid network congestion, Kyivstar is gradually restoring
other services and stabilizing operations as they progress. The
actual experience of Kyivstar customers might vary depending on a
number of factors, and the company’s technical team are working
diligently to resolve all issues related to accessibility of the
network and the quality of the experience. Kyivstar routinely
advises its customers on service restoration on its social media
channels.
The full financial impact remains not quantifiable at this stage
as the restoration of services continue.
VEON and Kyivstar thank the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies,
the Security Service of Ukraine and government agencies for their
immediate response and assistance in addressing the attack, and
their support in restoring services. They also express their
gratitude to Kyivstar customers, corporate clients, partners and
industry colleagues for the overwhelming support they have shown on
public and private channels.
VEON and Kyivstar reiterate their commitment to keeping Ukraine
connected and resilient.
