Commenting on the slate of director nominees, the Chairman of the Board and its Nomination Committee Augie K Fabela II stated: "VEON’s performance in 2025 underscores that our strategy is delivering, and this momentum supports continuity at the Board level. This progress was exemplified by the August 2025 NASDAQ listing of Kyivstar, highlighting the intrinsic value of our business. Building on this, our digital operator strategy continues to drive strong results, with digital revenues growing 84.1% year-over-year to 20.1% of Group revenue in 4Q25. In parallel, with our SpaceX global partnership, we are advancing the integration of terrestrial and satellite networks. Together, these efforts—along with continued expansion in digital, financial services, and AI inclusion—reflect disciplined execution."
