Uklon–Kyivstar Transaction Recognised as Forbes Ukraine Deal of the Year 2025

We are proud to share that the acquisition of Uklon by Kyivstar, a landmark transaction on which our team Imagine Lawyers advised, has been named Deal of the Year 2025 by Forbes Ukraine.

Forbes Ukraine highlighted the transaction as the most significant business deal of the year, reflecting its scale, strategic importance, and long-term impact on Ukraine’s technology and telecommunications markets: a strategic combination of technology, infrastructure, and long-term confidence in Ukraine’s economy.

For our team, this project represents the kind of work we are committed to: complex, high-stakes transactions requiring precision, sound judgment, and close cooperation with founders, investors, and advisers across multiple jurisdictions.

Sincere congratulations as well to the Uklon founders: Victoria Dubrovska, Dmytro Dubrovsky, Serhiy Smus and Votalii Diatlenko on their well-deserved recognition as Entrepreneurs of the Year in Ukraine by Forbes Ukraine.

We are grateful to the Uklon founders, as well as Uklon and Kyivstar teams for their trust and partnership, and to all advisors, Dragon Capital, Asters, Sauenko Kharenko and KPMG for their professionalism and shared commitment that made this transaction possible.

We are pleased to continue supporting Uklon on further projects.
