According to the minister, despite shelling, power outages, and other challenges, operators continue to build new towers, restore damaged networks, and attract investments.
Fedorov emphasized that the government, together with the companies, is working to remove bureaucratic barriers to accelerate infrastructure construction.
By the end of 2026, operators must cover all international and national roads with high-quality 4G communication – currently, there is no connection in many places on the roads. For this, we are legally removing bureaucracy to speed up approvals.
Among the problematic areas, he named mobile communication on trains, but several projects are already underway that should improve the situation in the near future.
A separate strategic goal is to provide 98% of Ukraine's population with high-quality mobile internet by 2030.
We continue to work together with mobile operators so that you always stay connected. I thank the operators for developing the telecom infrastructure.
