Ahead of our 2Q26 results, colleagues from across VEON gathered in New York for an evening of discussion on the trends, opportunities and innovations shaping our business. The highlight of the evening was a fireside chat moderated by VEON Group CEO @Kaan_Terzioglu, featuring Vladyslav Rashkovan, Alternate Executive Director at the IMF, and Phil Mackintosh, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at Nasdaq. The discussion explored the opportunities across VEON's markets, the evolving global economic landscape and the role of technology and digital innovation in driving sustainable growth and value creation. The evening was an opportunity to bring teams together from across the Group, celebrate progress in the first half of the year and map our next phase of growth as a digital operator serving millions of customers across six dynamic markets.
