Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, will gradually update certain tariffs from December 18 this year and throughout early 2026 to compensate for the rising cost of key resources.
“Starting December 18, 2025, and throughout early 2026, the terms of some subscription rates will be gradually updated, and starting January 1, 2026, and over the course of several months, some contract and business rates will also be updated,” the company said.
It is noted that these conditions are being introduced due to the rise in the cost of key resources, in particular, electricity for businesses, which has risen by 60% during evening peak hours.
The technical community of the telecommunications market “Mobile Communications of Ukraine” reported on Telegram that the new tariffs will affect, among other things, the LOVE UA line. Specifically, LOVE UA Base will increase from 150 UAH to 200 UAH/4 weeks, LOVE UA Bezlim 2024 from 225 UAH to 300 UAH, LOVE UA Pesnya 2024 from 250 UAH to 300 UAH, LOVE UA Svet 2024 from 200 UAH to 260 UAH, LOVE UA Light 2024 (with the superpower Economy) will increase from 150 UAH to 200 UAH, and the LOVE UA Freedom 2024 tariff will increase from 125 UAH to 190 UAH.
Among other changes, the operator announced the expansion of the “Roaming as at home” service from 28 to 32 countries, including Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Cyprus, starting December 18.
For subscribers abroad, roaming limits of UAH 2,000 and UAH 4,000 will be introduced from January 1, which will help avoid unexpected Internet costs.
As reported, Kyivstar received EBITDA of UAH 7.1 billion in the third quarter of 2025, which is 21.5% more than in the third quarter of 2024, and in dollars, the growth was 20.4% to $171 million.
Kyivstar served 22.5 million mobile subscribers in the third quarter of 2025, which is 3.6% less than a year earlier, but the number of 4G customers grew by 2.4% to 15 million.
