VEON Ltd. announced on February 14, 2025, that its wholly-owned digital operator in Ukraine, Kyivstar, together with the Come Back Alive Foundation, has jointly raised nearly UAH 107 million (USD 2.6 million) for the 'We Live Here 2.0' project. This initiative supports the demining of Ukrainian territory.
The funds will be used to equip mine clearance services with Ukrainian-made robotics, 'Vampire' drones for remote detonation, vehicles, and communications tools. Kyivstar's direct contribution across both phases of the 'We Live Here' project amounts to UAH 50 million (USD 1.2 million).
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.
