Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, has been granted the right to officially sell Starlink services in Ukraine to support Ukrainian businesses, according to a company statement.
The agreement allows for the official supply of Starlink high-speed internet kits and services to large corporations, medium-sized businesses, and manufacturing enterprises.
Starlink will also be available to the country’s public institutions, including schools, universities, hospitals, clinics, and other facilities.
“This enhances the resilience and efficiency of Ukrainian companies. In addition, we plan to develop joint offerings that will combine Starlink services with Kyivstar’s core telecom services, creating comprehensive solutions for businesses with high reliability and support,” Kyivstar’s Director of New Business Development, Ilya Polshakov, is quoted as saying in the release.
Customers will be able to obtain all necessary financial documents from the mobile operator as an authorized Starlink distributor in Ukraine and pay for all transactions in hryvnia.
Starlink is a global satellite network with thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit that provides broadband internet access. The service delivers high-speed internet to remote regions and locations requiring additional connectivity options.
In November 2025, Kyivstar launched free messaging using Starlink Direct to Cell (D2C) technology, which is already used by nearly 5 million customers out of a total subscriber base of 22.4 million. This year, Kyivstar plans to expand the service to other messaging apps and real-time multimedia sharing.
As of the end of 2025, Kyivstar served 22.4 million mobile subscribers and 1.2 million “Home Internet” subscribers. In 2025, the company increased its EBITDA by 30% to UAH 27 billion, with revenue growing by 30.3% to UAH 48.2 billion; including a 23.1% increase in EBITDA in the fourth quarter of last year—to UAH 7.2 billion—on the back of a 30.1% rise in revenue—to UAH 13.5 billion.
