Free roaming for Ukrainians in the EU has been extended for a year

July 11, 2023SUNDRIES1 min read

The European Commission has announced that an agreement between European and Ukrainian operators has resulted in a one-year extension of the agreement on the abolition of roaming fees for Ukrainian citizens staying in the EU. As a result, Ukrainians seeking asylum in Europe will be able to keep in touch with their relatives in Ukraine without additional fees.

Free roaming for Ukrainians in the EU has been extended for a year

The European Commission has facilitated an agreement between European and Ukrainian operators to extend the agreement “with a view to mutually reducing the tariffs they must maintain for cross-border calls”.

In parallel, the European Commission is preparing for Ukraine’s integration into the EU roaming space. In April 2023, the EU-Ukraine Association Committee approved a proposal for Ukraine to join the EU roaming rules.

The next step for Ukraine will be to fully harmonize its national legislation with EU law, after which the Council of the European Union will make a final decision.
