This year’s award brought together leading Ukrainian companies that submitted more than 60 case studies in the field of customer experience. The participating companies represented various industries, including e-commerce, banking, insurance, HoReCa, retail, fuel stations, and even agriculture.

We sincerely congratulate all the winners and finalists of UCXE’2025, who demonstrated a high level of strategic innovation and empathy in the implementation of CX solutions!
The Ukrainian National Customer Experience Award is an event that brings together thousands of professionals with a human-centric approach.
Our job is to put people at the center of business decision-making. This is especially important in times of war and crisis. So let’s celebrate the winners, scale up the best practices, and bring victory closer,” said Olena Tsysar, CX consultant and representative of the UCXE’2025 Methodological Council.
Lovemark companies award — a new vector of trust in brands
It has become a tradition that Ukrainian CX Excellence announces Lovemark companies, selected based on a large consumer survey (17,000+ votes) conducted by 4Service.
According to the survey results, in 2025, the customers’ favorites were Monobank, Silpo, COMFY, OKKO, Podorozhnik, Nova Poshta, Kyivstar, Diya, EVA, Adidas, ROZETKA, Epicenter, and the insurance company TAS.
“The 2025 LoveMark includes 14 companies in 14 categories. It is a large, thorough survey based on the criteria of love and respect,” said Viktoria Skorbota, Regional Director of 4Service East.
Along with the awarding of the winners, the ceremony program included keynotes from leading CX experts. Insights on the importance of CX research were shared by Marina Berezyuk, business psychologist, CX consultant, and author of the book How to Win Customers’ Hearts.
“Cult scientists in behavioral economics – Kahneman and Thaler – received Nobel Prizes for their research on human irrationality. It is obvious that the customer journey should not be created based solely on logic.”
Iryna Chubukova, business consultant in customer analytics, kmbs lecturer, and author of the book Customer Analytics, noted:
“For the customer experience to be profitable, you need to speak the language of finance. That’s why we create models that link CX to customer behavior and business metrics — from NPS to ROI. CX is not an expense. It’s an investment that either works or doesn’t. The Impact model is Google Maps for CX. It shows where to invest to get financial returns and helps build arguments that CFOs and shareholders understand.”
The awards have been received, and sincere thanks have been sent to the teams. Most importantly, we have gained a stronger awareness that UCXE’2025 has become a space for strategic dialogue, where new benchmarks for customer experience as a business driver are born.
This year’s cases demonstrated a new level of maturity, depth, and consistency in decision-making. We are convinced that even in difficult times, customer-centric business is an irreversible evolution of CX in Ukraine. And that is why we are confidently continuing on this path.
KA Group is already preparing to welcome new nominees — leaders who are not resting on their laurels and are shaping the future of customer centricity in Ukraine. See you at the All-Ukrainian Customer Experience Awards in 2026!

Due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, particularly following US strikes on Iranian targets, the authorities of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have temporarily closed their airspace to civilian aircraft. This has led to widespread flight cancellations and diversions by major international airlines.
Qatar closed its airspace on June 23. About 100 flights to Hamad Airport (Doha) were rerouted via Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which lengthened flight times and increased fuel consumption and operating costs.
The UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) also suspended the arrival and departure of all civilian aircraft, which are forced to turn back before entering the country’s airspace.
The states took preventive measures due to the threat of strikes against American and Western targets in the region. International airlines — Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Air France-KLM, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Air Canada — have suspended or changed their routes to these destinations. Flight routes are now being rerouted via the Caspian Sea and Egypt, which will significantly lengthen flights and increase their cost.
The US Air Force is expected to be active in the skies over the Persian Gulf. US military aircraft will participate in repelling Iranian strikes on American bases and allied facilities in the region. No official announcement has been made yet on how many flights have been canceled, but the situation has already caused serious disruptions to air traffic. For passengers, this means delays, ticket cancellations, and longer routes. The aviation industry is preparing for higher costs and fewer flights through one of the world’s key transit hubs.
