VEON Ltd. announced on June 17, 2025, that Kyivstar, its digital operator in Ukraine, has joined forces with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation. They signed a Cooperation Memorandum to develop Ukraine’s first national large language model (LLM) trained on Ukrainian-language data.
This initiative builds on VEON’s and Kyivstar’s pledge to invest USD 1 billion in Ukraine’s digital infrastructure and economic recovery. The development of a national LLM aims to bridge the digital language gap and provide advanced AI tools tailored to the specific needs of Ukrainian speakers.
The partnership underscores Kyivstar's role in supporting Ukraine's digitalization agenda and its commitment to fostering innovation. This strategic collaboration aligns with VEON's broader AI1440 ambition to create augmented intelligence solutions that empower individuals and drive economic growth in its markets.
