Ukraine telecom operators fix internet connection in bomb-battered Kyiv. See pics

Amid reports of Russian forces carrying out dozens of air strikes in eastern Ukraine overnight, Ukranian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov shared a small hopeful message -- visuals of telecom operators trying to fix internet connection in de-occupied regions of Kyiv.

Taking to Twitter, the youngest minister of President Volodymyr Zelensky's cabinet shared a couple of photos of operators in a bomb-battered area andwrote, "Telecom operators are active participants and heroes of this war. They do strategic job in restoring the internet in de-occupied territories."

"Provider Best is about to fix internet connection in Kyiv region: Stoyanka, Gorenychy, Dmytrivka, Kapitanivka, Shpytky, Petrushky, Mriia," Mykhailo Fedorov added.

Earlier this month, more than 27 telecom operators based in the European Union and in Ukraine signed a joint statement on their coordinated efforts to secure and stabilise affordable or free roaming and international calls between the EU and Ukraine.

After a number of spontaneous voluntary initiatives took place, the joint statement aims to establish a more stable framework to help Ukrainians displaced throughout Europe to stay in touch with family and friends back home.
