 export controls that could impact our ability to update and maintain our equipment and infrastructure, see “ Risks Related to our Operations — We depend on third parties for certain services and equipment, infrastructure and other products important to our business.”As a result, there could be a number of base stations or other communications facilities and other aspects of our networks for which we are awaiting final permission to operate for indeterminate periods. We also regularly receive notices from regulatory authorities warning us that we are not in compliance with aspects of our licenses and permits and requiring us to cure the violations within a certain time period. In the past, we have closed base stations in order to comply with regulations and notices from regulatory authorities. Any failure by our company to cure such violations could result in the applicable license being suspended and subsequently revoked through court action. Although we look to take all necessary steps to comply with any license violations within the stated time periods, including by switching off base stations that do not have all necessary permits until such permits are obtained, we cannot assure you that our licenses or permits will not be suspended or revoked in the future. If we are found to operate telecommunications equipment without an applicable license or permit, we could experience a significant disruption in our service or network operation, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. 51 General Risk Factors Related to Kyivstar Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters, including mobilization.

Furthermore, work stoppages or slow -downsexperienced by our customers or suppliers could result in lower demand for our services and products. In the
