Kyivstar Becomes First Ukrainian Company Listed on Nasdaq

Kyivstar, Ukraine's leading digital operator and a subsidiary of VEON Ltd., has become the first Ukrainian company to be listed on a U.S. stock exchange, officially trading on Nasdaq under the ticker KYIV since August 15, 2025. To celebrate this historic milestone, Kyivstar rang the Nasdaq opening bell on August 29, marking a key moment for Ukraine's economic visibility and growth potential. In conjunction with the listing, VEON and Kyivstar launched the "Invest in Ukraine NOW!" campaign in New York, which includes a series of strategic events aimed at attracting U.S. and international investment to support Ukraine's post-war reconstruction through public-private partnerships. Kyivstar serves nearly 22.4 million mobile customers and has diversified its services into digital healthcare, entertainment, and ride-hailing platforms, with plans to expand connectivity further through a partnership with Starlink. The campaign and listing symbolize both the company's robust financial performance and Ukraine's resilience and economic prospects amid ongoing recovery efforts. VEON's chairman emphasized that Kyivstar's Nasdaq presence provides American investors with direct access to Ukraine's broader economy and growth story.
