The European Commission on Wednesday announced a one-year extension of the roaming agreement between the European Union and Ukraine, ensuring continued connectivity for Ukrainian refugees.

'In times of war, a phone line is a lifeline, connecting people who sought refuge in Europe to those who stayed on the front,' European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen stated on social media platform X.

This marks the fifth extension of the voluntary agreement between 22 European and seven Ukrainian telecommunications operators, highlighting the importance of staying connected during crises.
