Goodwill
Goodwill is included within the above total intangible asset movements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026. The
significant additions during the period were relating to the acquisitions as explained in Note 5 - Significant Transactions.
Goodwill arising from the acquisitions is allocated to the respective Cash Generating Unit "CGU" which are then grouped for the
impairment testing. This group represents the lowest level within Kyivstar Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes and is not larger than the Kyivstar Group's operating segment. 
The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. Based
on the analysis performed, no impairment of goodwill was identified for any CGUs.
Impairment losses
Impairment expense of US$4 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 (2025: US$4) primarily relates to certain items of
property, plant and equipment that were written down as a result of identified impairment indicators, including assets affected by
the ongoing war in Ukraine.
