Despite physical attacks on its network, challenges with energy resilience and cyberattacks targeting its network and services, Kyivstar has continued to ensure that Ukrainians remain connected, addressing the critical humanitarian need for access to communication.

The essentiality of our services has made Kyivstar not only indispensable to Ukraine and our customers, but also a prime target - as we have experienced with the recent massive cyberattack on our network. Our work in improving the resilience of communication in Ukraine includes 2 years of continuous effort in creating redundancies in our core network, constant building and rebuilding of the damaged sites, very significant energy investments as well as investments in digital services and cybersecurity. said Oleksandr Komarov, CEO of Kyivstar. This nomination motivates us further to continue being the lynchpin of Ukraine's connectivity and its digital transformation, both of which are essential to our country's resilience, recovery and reconstruction.
