In the first quarter of 2025, Kyivstar built over 800 new base stations and expanded 4G coverage

In the first quarter of 2025, Kyivstar built 828 new base stations and expanded 4G coverage to 139 more settlements.

As of May 2025, the company provided access to high-speed 4G Internet and high-quality mobile communications for 95.9% of the population in the territory controlled by Ukraine.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the company has carried out over 22,000 upgrades to existing base stations and built over 9,000 new ones. The total capital investment in network development since 2022 has exceeded UAH 26.4 billion.

Kyivstar will continue to invest in expanding 4G coverage as part of fulfilling its license obligations for new spectrum in the 2100 MHz and 2300 MHz bands, which was purchased at an auction in November 2024.

In 2025, 4G connectivity appeared in dozens of new settlements, including 12 in Mykolaiv region, 7 in Ivano-Frankivsk region, and 6 in Volyn region. 94 new technological sites were also built along key highways. In particular, on the Kyiv-Lviv highway near the village of Olesko, as well as on the Kyiv-Odesa highway near the village of Dubinove on the border of Odessa, Kirovohrad, and Mykolaiv regions. Thanks to this, as of May, almost 13,000 km of roads of international and national importance were covered with high-quality 4G coverage.

"Today, Kyivstar has the largest number of 4G base stations in the controlled territory of Ukraine. This is confirmed by the company's internal data and reporting to state authorities," the company reports.
