Kyivstar Group Ltd. (KYIV), part of VEON Group, said Friday that its ride-hailing platform Uklon has agreed to acquire E-wings, an electric scooter and micromobility operator, for UAH 97.6 million or about $2.2 million.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
The company said the acquisition marks another step in Uklon's evolution from a ride-hailing service into a broader urban mobility platform. The company currently offers ride-hailing, delivery, advertising and travel services through its ecosystem.
Following the completion of the deal and a transition period, Uklon plans to integrate E-wings' electric scooter rental service into its main application, allowing users to access scooter rentals, ride-hailing and intercity travel through a single platform.
"Bringing E-wings into Uklons platform will mean our users to no longer have to choose between apps based on how far they are traveling or how they want to reach their destinations. We are building the platform that moves people through every part of their day," said Serhii Hryshkov, CEO of Uklon.
