Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu emphasized the importance of helping rebuild Ukraine and making the country safe again for its citizens. This fundraising effort complements VEON's USD 1 billion commitment to invest in rebuilding Ukraine’s telecom infrastructure from 2023-2027, showcasing its dedication to the country's recovery.
