## Key Points

- Kyivstar and Come Back Alive launched the RoboZBIR campaign to raise UAH 35M for GRSs
- Funds will go toward Maul, Termit 2.0, Poni, and Ungezifer systems for four UAF units
- Kyivstar subscribers can participate via the 'Aid to the Armed Forces+' Superpower — up to UAH 50 monthly from their tariff
- Over three years, Kyivstar has directed more than UAH 5.8 billion to support the army and social projects

Electronic communications operator Kyivstar, in cooperation with the Come Back Alive charitable foundation, has announced the launch of RoboZBIR, a targeted fundraising initiative to purchase ground robotic systems (GRSs) for units of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine. The total project goal is 35 million hryvnias. The initiative is being implemented as part of the “We Live Here” army support project ecosystem and is supported by media partners 1+1 Media (general partner) and Kyivstar TV, as reported by RBC-Ukraine and NV, citing the operator's press service.

### The Role of Ground Robots at the Frontline

According to the Come Back Alive foundation, ground robotic systems have already become an integral part of modern warfare, helping the military carry out tens of thousands of missions every month. In certain frontline areas, wounded evacuation and logistical support for positions are impossible without GRSs. These systems make it possible to perform evacuation, logistics, and demining tasks without direct human involvement, which significantly reduces the time servicemen spend in dangerous zones and lowers the risk of casualties.

### What Will Be Purchased and For Whom

The funds raised will be used to purchase four types of systems: Maul, Termit 2.0, Poni, and Ungezifer. The recipients of the equipment will be four units: the 1st Separate Medical Battalion, the 47th and 60th Separate Mechanized Brigades, and the 125th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade. RoboZBIR will also strengthen the foundation's ongoing RoboBro project, which aims to save at least 1,000 lives of Ukrainian defenders using ground robotic systems.

### How to Join the Fundraising Campaign

Anyone can support the initiative by making a donation on the RoboZBIR page or through the project's official charitable jar. Prepaid Kyivstar subscribers have an additional tool: by activating the “Aid to the Armed Forces+” Superpower (sending an SMS of any content or calling the toll-free number 88032), they direct up to 50 hryvnias from each tariff payment to RoboZBIR every month. The Superpower is available in accordance with the terms of the specific tariff plan.

### Management Comments and Support Context

“Supporting the Ukrainian army remains one of our key priorities. We continue to join forces with reliable partners and involve Kyivstar subscribers in providing assistance,” said company CEO Oleksandr Komarov. According to him, RoboZBIR is “another step towards ensuring that modern technology helps preserve the most valuable thing — the lives of Ukrainian defenders.” Kyivstar and the foundation emphasize: “Robots are changing the course of history, and we must provide them to the military!”

### Kyivstar in Figures: The Scale of Corporate Support

As of September 30, 2026, Kyivstar served approximately 21.7 million mobile subscribers and over 1.3 million fixed-line subscribers. Over the past three years, the company has channeled more than 5.8 billion hryvnias into supporting the Defense Forces, subscribers, and implementing social projects. The operator has been active in the Ukrainian market for 28 years, is the largest taxpayer in the electronic communications sector, and is wholly owned by Kyivstar Group Ltd, whose shares are traded on Nasdaq (ticker KYIV).
