VEON and Kyivstar Welcome Former U.S. Secretary of State and
Kyivstar Board member Mike Pompeo to Ukraine
Kyiv, 5 February 2024 – VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ:
VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that
provides converged connectivity and online services, announces that
a high-level delegation including the former U.S. Secretary of
State and Kyivstar Supervisory Board member Michael R. Pompeo have
recently visited the Kyivstar team in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Mike Pompeo joined the Board of Kyivstar, VEON’s wholly owned
Ukrainian subsidiary, at the end of 2023. Last week, he visited
Kyiv in person to attend the first Kyivstar Board meeting of the
year, along with a larger VEON delegation.
Addressing Kyivstar employees in a widely attended townhall,
Secretary Pompeo and Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO and Chairman of
the Kyivstar Board, reiterated their support for Kyivstar’s work
and the resilience of the team in overcoming a recent major
cyberattack and restoring critical services to Ukraine within
days.
"The work of Kyivstar in supporting communication makes Ukraine
stronger, and allows Ukraine to continue the fight. Ukraine must
win, and the essential work that Kyivstar is doing to keep the
country connected is an integral part of ensuring this victory.
This is of a great importance to global security, and is also
important to me as a person who also cares deeply about the future
of Ukraine as well as about the security of United States of
America," said Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State
and Kyivstar Board member.
"VEON is deeply committed to Ukraine and we demonstrate this
commitment every day with the work of Kyivstar. I am very proud of
the team’s achievements over the past year, overcoming significant
odds, including a major cyberattack. Kyivstar is a crown jewel in
our portfolio, and VEON will do everything to make it successful,
contributing to the success of Ukraine. I am very happy to see that
our international investor base is also supportive of this
commitment,” said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO and
Chairman of the Kyivstar Board.
“Kyivstar’s mission is adapted to the realities
of war which now approaches its second year. Our first
priority is to provide critical services to all Ukrainians, help
save lives and make life better for Ukrainians at home and abroad.
We move forward despite all obstacles and keep investing in
Ukraine’s present and future. Secretary Pompeo’s decision to join
our Board is proof that we are on the right track,”
said Oleksandr Komarov, Kyivstar
CEO.
