Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, which this year acquired the digital medical goods service Tabletki.ua (MTPK LLC) for an amount equivalent to $160 million, plans to launch pilot joint products this year between this service and the Helsi medical information system, which is also owned Kyivstar, and subsequently integrate the Uklon taxi-hailing and delivery service, which the operator acquired early last year for the equivalent of $155 million, Kyivstar CEO and President Oleksandr Komarov announced.
“This vision begins with patients and doctors using the Helsi app. We want them to be able to select and book … medications or pharmaceutical products within a single customer journey, and if necessary, Uklon will deliver them to the patient,” he said during a conference call regarding Kyivstar’s 2025 financial results on Friday evening.
“Our specific plan is to launch pilot projects for certain MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) between Helsi and Tabletki this year. With a clear strategy that we will present to the Kyivstar Group supervisory board sometime in the fourth quarter of 2026,” Komarov noted.
According to him, the group is currently very focused on integrating the acquired businesses.
“We want to integrate from various perspectives, because integrating local businesses into a public company is a challenge. And then we will focus on development strategies and synergies between Helsi and Tabletki, between Uklon and Tabletki, and between Kyivstar and Tabletki.
According to the report, Helsi increased its revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 by 67.8%—to 95 million UAH, and for the year as a whole, it reached 311 million UAH. The number of active specialists and doctors on the platform grew by 7.5% over the year—to over 42,000—while the number of healthcare facilities increased by 4%—to over 1,700. Although the number of appointments made by patients through the platform decreased by 1.4% last year—to 2.4 million—the number of monthly active users (MAU) grew by 6.7%—to 2.5 million—and the number of paying subscribers increased 3.8-fold, to over 57,000.
The online taxi service Uklon, which was consolidated into Kyivstar’s financial statements in April 2025, generated UAH 3.35 billion in revenue over the last three quarters of last year, with EBITDA of UAH 1.1 billion, including UAH 1.42 billion and UAH 386 million in the fourth quarter, respectively.
The number of Uklon rides in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 8.6% compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year—to 43.6 million—while deliveries rose by 21.7% to 1.3 million, and the MAU figure stood at 3.8 million.
The Tabletki service partners with over 14,000 pharmacies across Ukraine and, according to 2025 data, processed 14 million online orders per month.
Komarov was unable to specify Uklon’s market share due to the market’s opacity, but emphasized that the company is clearly the leader, while Bolt and Uber rank second and third, respectively.
According to the head of Kyivstar, Uklon’s business is growing thanks to the continued penetration of ride-sharing services and an increase in market share, as well as the development of an advertising business—built virtually from scratch—at a rate of 100% per year.
“We have our own strategy—let’s call it a modern mobility strategy—centered on Uklon: we want Uklon to expand into the mobility segment. We are already conducting some experiments with special buses for the most popular routes, for example, to Bukovel, … some experiments on how to develop an ecosystem of modern mobility services around the clock,” Komarov said.
When asked about the launch of the Uklon website in Kazakhstan, the head of Kyivstar emphasized that no decisions regarding international expansion have been made yet; outside of Ukraine, the business is currently developing only in Uzbekistan. “We are satisfied with the current results, but we want to be sure that our model of international expansion is sufficiently proven based on the synergy between the telecommunications business and the ride-hailing business,” Komarov explained.
