We are on the verge of another technological change – the transition from 4G to 5G. We have already tested the network operation in Kyiv at our location. The world has long since passed this stage, in Europe, in most developed countries, this technology is already working, in Ukraine we are now piloting it. We have agreed with the Ministry of Digital Transformation that the first city in which we will commercially launch after the pilot… will be Lviv. We are now at the stage where all pilot tests must be agreed with the state in a comprehensive plan for the transition to a new technology, which in principle should be supported by the entire telecom industry.

RecallIn May last year, Ukraine successfully tested 5G technology for the first time, making a 5G call between Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv and Helsinki.
