Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, paid over 13.67 billion UAH in taxes and fees to the state budget in 2025, a 12% increase from the previous year, according to a press release issued by the company on Wednesday.
According to the release, over the four years of full-scale war, the company’s total tax contributions exceeded 46.5 billion UAH, cementing Kyivstar’s status as the largest taxpayer in Ukraine’s telecom industry.

The company also noted that since 2022, it has invested over 4.6 billion UAH in the procurement and maintenance of backup power equipment, and has allocated a total of 40.1 billion UAH in capital investments during this period toward infrastructure restoration, modernization, and the development of digital capabilities.

Thailand’s real estate market in 2026 is showing steady growth, largely due to the return of foreign buyers and the recovery of tourist traffic. After a downturn during the pandemic years, the sector has once again become one of the key drivers of the country’s economy.
The main segment of demand is concentrated in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket. At the same time, it is the resort regions that are of primary interest to foreign investors, who are focused on both renting and purchasing homes for their own use.
According to regulators and developers, apartment prices in Bangkok average between $3,000 and $5,500 per square meter, depending on location and project class. In resort regions, the price range is wider: in Pattaya—from $1,500 to $3,500 per square meter, in Phuket—from $2,500 to $6,000 per square meter, though premium seaside projects can significantly exceed these levels.
Thai legislation restricts foreign participation but makes the market one of the most accessible in Asia: foreigners can own units in condominiums (up to 49% of the project’s total area) but cannot directly own land. This has shaped a market model where condominiums have become the primary product for foreign buyers.
Foreigners play a key role in Thailand’s market. According to the country’s Land Department, foreigners accounted for about 13% of all condominium transactions in 2024–2025, though their share is significantly higher in certain projects and locations.
Chinese citizens remain the largest group of foreign buyers, accounting for up to 40–50% of all transactions involving foreigners. They are followed by buyers from Russia, Myanmar, India, and European countries. In recent years, Russians have consistently ranked among the top three foreign buyers, particularly in Phuket and Pattaya.
Ukrainians are also present in the Thai market, primarily in the resort real estate and rental segments; however, their share is significantly lower and remains niche.
Thus, Thailand remains one of the real estate markets in Asia most dependent on foreign demand, where foreign capital largely determines price dynamics, especially in tourist regions.
