Kyivstar, the leading telecommunications operator in Ukraine, has signed a partnership agreement with Google to introduce YouTube Premium in Ukraine. As a result, subscribers will gain access to premium services for just 90 UAH per month.

YouTube Premium is a subscription-based service that provides users with enhanced features on the YouTube platform: ad-free viewing, background playback, offline downloads, and access to YouTube Music Premium.

This partnership also opens new opportunities for Ukrainian content creators. An increase in audience size will aid in the growth of the local YouTube segment, helping creators scale their content and discover additional monetization avenues.

"This agreement strengthens Kyivstar's position as a tech leader and fosters the growth of digital services in the country. We expect it to have a positive impact on the Ukrainian creative industry. This is just the beginning of our collaboration with a global platform and the world's most popular video hosting service," said Ilya Polishakov, Director of New Business Development at Kyivstar.

"We are excited to support Ukrainian YouTube creators. With this new project alongside our long-term partner Kyivstar, the YouTube Premium experience becomes even better, allowing Ukrainians to enjoy their favorite content ad-free, anytime and anywhere. We hope this inspires Ukrainians to unleash their creative potential and further develop Ukraine's creative ecosystem," added Tatyana Lukinyuk, Director of Google Ukraine.

Kyivstar will offer its subscribers unique attractive terms for using YouTube Premium. Additionally, users will be able to easily subscribe and manage the service through the "My Kyivstar" app, as well as pay directly from their mobile accounts.

"Subscribers will be able to sign up and pay for YouTube Premium within their tariff plans. This partnership will provide access to premium YouTube services at one of the most competitive prices in Ukraine. For users who value high-quality digital content, Kyivstar offers a convenient and reliable way to connect. This is just one of many benefits our customers will enjoy," emphasized Ozan Aslan, Director of Business Development for the mass market at Kyivstar.

Detailed information about the connection terms and tariffs will be published soon on Kyivstar's official platforms.
