Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, may acquire Sanvin 11 LLC (Odesa), which owns a 12.95 MW solar power plant in Zhytomyr region that was commissioned in 2019.
According to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine on its website, the issue of granting the relevant permission will be considered on Thursday.
According to YouControl, Sanvin 11 is currently owned on a parity basis by Czech citizen Natalia Bogachova and Israeli citizen Peter Rosenkrantz through the Cypriot company Merestono Limited.
Last year, the company increased its revenue by 16% to UAH 89.0 million, while its net profit grew by 62.9% to UAH 33.2 million.
Kyivstar serves nearly 23 million mobile subscribers and over 1.1 million home internet subscribers. Recently, the company, which accumulated a significant amount of free cash during the war amid currency restrictions, has been actively investing in other industries and expects to reap synergies from these investments.
Its portfolio of digital services includes the Helsi medical platform, the Kyivstar TV film and television platform, and Uklon, a leading ride-hailing and delivery company. Kyivstar is also a provider of solutions for corporate clients, offering cloud technology, cyber security, and artificial intelligence services. Through its Kyivstar.Tech division, the company is developing software development in Ukraine and is a partner for international technology companies such as Starlink.
In the second quarter of this year, Kyivstar increased its net profit by 18.6% compared to the same period in 2024, to UAH 3.4 billion, while its operating revenue grew by 25.9%, to UAH 11.86 billion.
