Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, is considering a pilot bond offering on the Ukrainian market, the company’s President and CEO Oleksandr Komarov announced at the “UP 100 Business” event in Kyiv on the evening of June 17, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of “Ekonomichna Pravda.”
“We have a functioning business with fairly solid metrics. I feel that if we need financing in hryvnia or foreign currency, there are bond instruments that we plan to try in the near future. I see this opportunity and don’t see any obstacles,” Komarov noted.
He recalled that at one point in its history, Kyivstar was “approximately $250 million in debt” and successfully and promptly fulfilled all its obligations.
According to him, the company has never taken out loans secured by its assets, only against its working capital.
Komarov added that an instrument such as bonds could enable Kyivstar to implement a strategy of independence from its current liquidity levels.
He also expressed the view that “something positive is happening at the (National) Securities Commission” right now.
“I hope there will be some degree of legalization, and that new, simplified mechanisms for raising capital will be created. In other words, it seems to me that, despite the very difficult environment, we are gradually moving in the right direction,” said the president of Kyivstar on the day a bill was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada to simplify the registration of private share offerings.
As reported, Kyivstar increased its consolidated EBITDA by 28.5% in the first quarter of 2026—to 7.5 billion UAH—while revenue grew by 31.3%—to 13.9 billion UAH.
JSC “Ukrposhta” expects to raise more than 22 million UAH from the sale of decommissioned vehicles to modernize the company’s fleet.
“Every rusty UAZ sold is a direct contribution to new long-haul vehicles, modern logistics, delivery speed, and the company’s ability to operate even when the enemy is trying to destroy the infrastructure,” Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smilianskyi is quoted as saying in the press release.
According to him, since the start of the full-scale invasion, “Ukrposhta” has lost 426 vehicles due to shelling and the temporary occupation of territories.
It is noted that during two phases of open auctions conducted through the “Prozorro.Sales” system, the postal operator sold over 1,000 vehicles. Specifically, during the first phase, 716 vehicles were sold, bringing the company approximately 9 million UAH.
“During the second phase, another 316 vehicles were put up for auction. Forty-two auctions have already taken place, and two more are in the final stages, specifically in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions,” the press release states.
Ukrposhta noted that over 600 participants took part in the auctions, which made it possible to nearly double the final value of the lots from 7.7 million hryvnias to a projected 13.7 million hryvnias.
“The most expensive lot in the second stage was the Kyiv lot consisting of 23 Soviet-era vehicles, which sold for 916 thousand UAH. The least expensive was a Mazda 6 for 44 thousand UAH,” the company emphasized.
Separately, the national postal operator noted that it had completed 100% automation of its sorting processes and expanded its fleet with 160 new MAN and IVECO trucks.
The state-owned “Ukrposhta” reported a total profit of 106.3 million UAH for January–April, with EBITDA of 122.9 million UAH. The company’s equity reached 2.3 billion UAH without additional budgetary funding.
In January–March 2026, the company reported a net loss of 204.8 million UAH, which is 1.1 million UAH, or 0.5%, higher than in the same period of 2025, while its revenue grew by 1.1% to 13 billion 118.42 billion UAH.

According to The Serbian Economist, a contract has been signed in neighboring Romania for the design and construction of a pedestrian suspension bridge across the Rebra River valley near the commune of Parva in Bistrița-Năsăud County, Transylvania.
The future bridge will be approximately 620 m long. It will span the Rebra Valley and connect two mountain slopes near the entrance to the Rodna Mountains National Park. According to Romanian media reports, the bridge will be 200–300 m above the valley.
The project could become one of the highest pedestrian suspension bridges in Europe and one of Romania’s new tourist attractions.
The project is funded, in part, by European funds under the Nord-Vest 2021–2027 regional program.
In addition to the bridge itself, the project includes the development of tourism infrastructure, specifically access to the site and landscaping of the surrounding area. In particular, Romanian publications mention the reconstruction of Dealul Tisei Street.
