VEON and Kyivstar are marking a significant milestone with a week-long celebration in New York, culminating in Kyivstar's historic listing on Nasdaq. The events, including an investor conference and the "Invest in Ukraine NOW!" Business Symposium, aim to promote investment opportunities in Ukraine and discuss reconstruction through public-private partnerships.

Kyivstar, Ukraine's leading digital operator, began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker KYIV on August 15, 2025, becoming the first Ukrainian company listed on a U.S. stock exchange [2]. The listing represents a significant opportunity for American investors to gain exposure to Ukraine's economy, which is undergoing a period of reconstruction and digital transformation.

The week-long celebration in New York, which began on August 27, 2025, includes several key events. VEON and Kyivstar will host an investor conference for current and potential investors, providing an opportunity to learn more about Kyivstar's business model and growth potential. The "Invest in Ukraine NOW!" Business Symposium will bring together leading American and Ukrainian businesses to discuss Ukraine's reconstruction through public-private partnerships and international investments.

Kyivstar's listing on Nasdaq is a testament to the company's robust digital ecosystem and strong financial performance. In the second quarter of 2025, Kyivstar reported operating revenue of USD 284 million, representing a 20.9% year-on-year increase. The company serves nearly 22.4 million mobile customers and over 1.1 million home internet fixed line customers, as well as 13.4 million digital monthly active users as of June 30, 2025 [2].

In addition to its core connectivity services, Kyivstar operates a growing portfolio of digital services, including Helsi, Ukraine's largest digital healthcare platform with over 29 million registered users; Kyivstar TV, a leading entertainment and streaming platform; and Uklon, the country's top ride-hailing and delivery platform. The company also provides cloud, cybersecurity, and software development services to Ukrainian enterprises through its enterprise subsidiary, Kyivstar Tech.

Kyivstar's partnership with Starlink for direct-to-cell satellite connectivity, scheduled for commercial launch in Q4 2025, represents a significant technological advancement that will enhance network resilience and coverage across Ukraine, a critical infrastructure for a nation rebuilding while parts remain in conflict zones [2].

The listing of Kyivstar on Nasdaq creates a unique investment vehicle that combines telecommunications infrastructure with digital service growth in an emerging market positioned for significant reconstruction investment. This milestone is a significant step forward for Ukraine's economy and a testament to the potential of Ukrainian companies to thrive on the global stage.
