Kyivstar partially restores internet services after cyberattack
Ukraine’s largest mobile operator Kyivstar has partially restored some internet services, the company's Corporate Communications Director, Anna Zakharash, reported on TV channel Kyiv24 on Dec. 13.
"We are working to continue restoring our network today throughout the day," she said.
The cyber attack on Dec. 12 was very large-scale and had serious consequences. As such, the company will be cautious regarding its repair process, Zakharash said.
International companies, including Microsoft, Cisco, and Ericsson, are helping to Kyivstar to restore its national network.
Initially attributing the disruption to a technical glitch, Kyivstar later confirmed the outage was the result of a cyberattack.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
