(Reuters) -A peaceful resolution to the war between Russia and Ukraine would boost the value of Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar “quite significantly”, its CEO Oleksandr Komarov said on Friday ahead of the company’s New York listing.
“We will be the best asset for the international investment community to invest in Ukraine, to invest in the Ukrainian recovery, to invest in the Ukrainian support,” Komarov said in an interview with Reuters.
Kyivstar is set to debut trading on the Nasdaq later on Friday, becoming the first Ukraine-based company listed on a U.S. stock exchange.
The IPO coincides with a highly anticipated summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, a meeting closely watched by Ukraine and European nations as a potential turning point in peace negotiations.
