Vodafone Ukraine (VFU), Ukraine’s second-largest mobile operator, is rolling out 5G for international roaming, which is currently available in 15 countries: Slovenia, Poland, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Malta, Croatia, Luxembourg, Germany, Slovakia, Montenegro, Cyprus, and New Zealand.
According to a press release published by the mobile operator on Thursday, access to 5G while roaming is provided under the same conditions as for 4G—within the subscriber’s plan.
It is noted that in European Union countries, the “Roam like at home” principle applies to most plans, allowing users to use minutes, SMS, and a portion of their data allowance without additional charges.
In 2025, Vodafone Ukraine increased its revenue by 14% compared to the previous year—to 27.8 billion UAH, while its net profit grew by 18%—to 4.18 billion UAH.
As reported with reference to data from the regulator, the National Commission for the State Regulation of Communications (NCC), the top three leaders in revenue from telecommunications services in Ukraine for 2025 were, by a significant margin, mobile operators: Kyivstar PJSC – UAH 44.16 billion, “Vodafone-Ukraine” – UAH 25.59 billion, and LLC “lifecell” (TM lifecell) from the DVL Group – UAH 15.74 billion. Compared to 2024 figures, Kyivstar’s revenue grew by 20.3%, Vodafone Ukraine’s by 13.1%, and lifecell’s by 19.1%.
