The parent company of Ukraine’s largest mobile provider called for an end to the war, pointing to the spiraling human cost of Russia’s ongoing invasion.
Ukrainians have “put on a big fight” and they deserve “a solution with dignity,” Kaan Terzioglu, chief executive officer of Veon Ltd, told Bloomberg News on Thursday. “Every plane that takes off has to land at certain point. Every war has to stop,” he said when asked about the consequences of Donald Trump’s election win in for Ukraine.
