(“VEON”, the “Company” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Group” or “we”) was incorporated in Bermuda on June 5, 2009. The registered office of VEON is Victoria Place, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda. VEON’s headquarters and the principal place of business are currently located at Unit 1703 Index Tower (East Tower), Dubai (DIFC), the United Arab Emirates. VEON generates revenue from the provision of voice, data, digital and other telecommunication services through a range of wireless, fixed and broadband internet services, as well as selling equipment, infrastructure and accessories. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollar” or “US$”). In these notes, U.S. dollar amounts are presented in millions, except for share and per share (or American Depository Shares (“ADS”)) amounts and as otherwise indicated. VEON’s ADSs and common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, material uncertainties have been identified that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern which are discussed in detail in Note 16 of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 as included in the Annual Report on the Form 20-F filed on April 25, 2025. Certain information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from the 2024 Form 20-F. Major developments during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 Appointment of new Chief Financial Officer and equity award On January 9, 2025, VEON announced the appointment of Burak Ozer as Group Chief Financial Officer (“Group CFO”), effective January 9, 2025.

Signing the business combination agreement with Cohen Circle to list Kyivstar on Nasdaq On January 13, 2025, VEON and Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp. I (“Cohen Circle”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced the signing of a letter of intent (“LOI”) to enter into a business combination with the aim of indirectly listing Kyivstar on the Nasdaq in the United States. The LOI enabled VEON and Cohen Circle to explore a business combination between VEON Holdings B.V. and Cohen Circle with the aim of indirectly listing JSC Kyivstar (“Kyivstar”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VEON Holdings B.V., on Nasdaq. VEON will continue to hold a majority stake in such publicly listed entity. On March 18, 2025, certain subsidiaries of VEON and Cohen Circle entered into a business combination agreement (the “BCA”). Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, (a) VEON Amsterdam B.V. will sell VEON Holdings B.V., which includes Kyivstar and its subsidiaries, to Kyivstar Group Ltd., a newly incorporated Bermudan company (“Kyivstar Group”), in exchange for common shares of Kyivstar Group and a loan note equal to the amount of funds held in Cohen Circle’s trust account, as of the time immediately before the closing of the business combination (after taking into account any funds which have been withdrawn from the trust account to pay those shareholders of Cohen Circle who have elected to have their shares redeemed prior to closing) plus any proceeds raised in a private placement financing in connection with the business combination prior to the time of closing and (b) Cohen Circle will merge with a subsidiary of Kyivstar Group, and Cohen Circle shall survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyivstar Group. Following the completion of the business combination, it is expected that the common shares and warrants of Kyivstar Group, the parent company of Kyivstar, are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols KYIV and KYIVW, respectively. The Kyivstar Listing is expected to occur in third quarter of 2025 and is subject to the approval of Cohen Circle’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions. Following the completion of the business combination, VEON is expected to continue to hold a majority stake in Kyivstar Group. On April 8, 2025, VEON further announced it had successfully completed the reorganization of VEON Holdings B.V. and finalized its consent solicitation process, first announced on January 13, 2025. These steps pave the way for the proposed business Table of Contents Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated) VEON Ltd | Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2025 7

combination with Cohen Circle, which is expected to lead to the common shares and warrants of Kyivstar Group, being listed on Nasdaq. The reorganization involved a legal demerger in the Netherlands, as a result of which VEON Holdings B.V. is now focused solely on Kyivstar and related assets. VEON’s other core businesses have been transferred to newly formed Dutch entities. On June 5, 2025, VEON announced the public filing of a registration statement on Form F-4 (“Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the listing of Kyivstar Group on Nasdaq.

At the January 30, 2025 meeting, 95.83% of the bonds were represented, and the proposal received unanimous support.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP 2 SEGMENT INFORMATION Management analyzes the Company’s operating segments separately because of different economic environments and stages of development in different geographical areas, requiring different investment and marketing strategies.

4 INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is the total of the current and deferred income taxes. Current income tax is the expected tax expense, payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. Deferred income tax is the tax asset or liability resulting from a difference in income recognition between enacted or substantively enacted local tax law and group IFRS accounting. Income tax expense consisted of the following for the three-month period ended March 31: 2025 2024 Current income taxes (52) (57) Deferred income taxes 40 16 Income tax expense (12) (41) Effective tax rate 9.2 % 34.5 % In December 2024, VEON Ltd. redomiciled from The Netherlands with a statutory tax rate of 25.8% to Dubai, United Arab Emirates which has a statutory tax rate of 9%. The difference between the statutory tax rate in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (9%) and the effective corporate income tax rate for the Group in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 (9.2%) was primarily driven by a decrease in withholding taxes paid and provided for as a deferred tax on outside basis on the dividends planned to be paid out in the next 12 months by US$10 and a decrease in current income taxes due to in change of estimate for the Corporate Income Tax provision by US$9. The difference between the statutory tax rate in the Netherlands (25.8%) and the effective corporate income tax rate for the Group in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, (34.5%) was primarily driven by a change in deferred tax assets which have not been recognized by US$12, a number of non-deductible expenses of US$7 incurred by the Group in various countries, which are recorded in our consolidated income statement and withholding taxes paid and provided for as a deferred tax on outside basis on the dividends planned to be paid out in the next 12 months of US$3. Global Minimum Tax The Group is in scope of the enacted Pillar Two legislation and has performed an assessment of the Group’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. The assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements for the constituent entities in the Group. Based on the assessment, the Pillar Two effective tax rates in the majority of jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%. As of March 31, 2025, the Group has accumulated US$8,861 of tax losses and US$422 of other tax attributes in various jurisdictions which can be carried-forward and utilized for Pillar Two purposes in the future. The Group has applied the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 12 exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP 5 SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 VEON announces sale of stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan On March 26, 2024, VEON announced that it signed the Kyrgyzstan SPA for the sale of its 50.1% indirect stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan to CG Cell Technologies, which is wholly owned by CG Corp Global for cash consideration of US$32. Completion of the sale of VEON’s stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan, which is held by VIP Kyrgyzstan Holding AG (an indirect subsidiary of the Company), is subject to customary regulatory approvals and preemption right of the Government of Kyrgyzstan in relation to acquisition of the stake. As a result of this anticipated transaction and assessment that control of the Kyrgyzstan operations will be transferred, as from the date of the Kyrgyzstan SPA signing, the Company classified its Kyrgyzstan operations as held for sale. Following the classification as held for sale, the Company no longer accounts for depreciation and amortization for Kyrgyzstan operations. The Government of Kyrgyzstan expressed its intention to exercise its pre-emption right in relation to the transaction before the SPA expiration on March 31, 2025. In accordance with the applicable law, VEON and the Government of Kyrgyzstan have entered into negotiations of the terms of the sale of VEON’s stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan. Based on current negotiations, Menacrest AG (an indirect subsidiary of the Company that was previously included in the disposal group) will now act as the seller of the Beeline Kyrgyzstan operations. As the additional time to complete the sale was not expected when the Company initially classified this asset group as held for sale, management is still committed to selling its stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan, and the negotiations with the Government of Kyrgyzstan are ongoing, the Company has maintained held for sale for its Kyrgyzstan operations as of March 31, 2025.

(“BDCL”) utilized remaining BDT 3 billion (US$27) under existing syndicate credit facility of BDT 8 billion (US$73) during January 2024 and February 2024. Fair values The carrying amounts of all financial assets and liabilities are equal to or approximate their respective fair values as shown in the table above, with the exception of: • 'Bank loans and bonds, including interest accrued', for which fair value is equal to US$3,175 at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: US$3,157); and • 'Lease liabilities', for which fair value has not been determined. Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices for our bonds, derived from market prices or by discounting contractual cash flows at the rate applicable for the instruments with similar maturity and risk profile. Observable inputs (Level 2) used in valuation techniques include interbank interest rates, bond yields, swap curves, basis swap spreads, foreign exchange rates and credit default spreads. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews if there are any indicators for a possible transfer between fair value hierarchy levels. This depends on how the Company is able to obtain the underlying input parameters when assessing the fair valuations. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.

tied to an absolute share price target for a total of shares. These grants have a three-year vesting period with vesting scheduled for December 31, 2027.

Changes to the GEC As announced on June 17, 2025, Omiyinka Doris has chosen to step aside from her role as Group General Counsel of the Company effective July 1, 2025.

Vitaly Shmakov has been appointed as the Acting General Counsel effective July 1, 2025 based out of VEON Headquarters in DIFC, Dubai. 16 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIS OF PREPARATION The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements has required management to apply accounting policies and methodologies based on complex and subjective judgments, estimates based on past experience and assumptions determined to be reasonable and realistic based on the related circumstances. The use of these judgments, estimates and assumptions affects the amounts reported in the statement of financial position, income statement, statement of cash flows, statement of changes in equity, as well as the notes. The final amounts for items for which estimates and assumptions were made in the consolidated financial statements may differ from those reported in these statements due to the uncertainties that characterize the assumptions and conditions on which the estimates are based. Going Concern As of June 18, 2025, hostilities continue in Ukraine. Currently, we have 23 million subscribers in Ukraine, where they are supported by 4,200 employees. VEON’s priority is to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and their families. We have developed and, in some cases, implemented additional contingency plans to relocate work and/or personnel who are integral to the provision of essential communication services to other geographies and add new locations, as appropriate. As of June 18, 2025, most of our Ukraine subsidiary’s employees remain in the country. As of June 18, 2025, millions of people have fled Ukraine and the country has sustained significant damage to infrastructure and assets. The war has resulted in events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern: • We may need to record future impairment charges in Ukraine or CGUs, which could be material, if the war continues or escalates and/or due to macroeconomic conditions. • Based on the current state of affairs, the Company currently has sufficient liquidity to satisfy our current obligations at least over the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements without the need of additional financing assuming no early repayments of our long-term debt. In addition, cash on hand was US$353 as of April 30, 2025. However, these continue to be uncertain times and it is not possible to predict with certainty how certain developments will impact our liquidity position, non-financial provisions in our debt agreements, and our equity levels on a regular and continuous basis both at the group and operating company levels. We may also be impacted by conditions or local legal requirements in international markets that could make it more difficult to service our existing debt obligations or refinance existing debt. If the assumptions behind our liquidity forecast are not correct, we may not have sufficient liquidity to continue to operate as outlined above. If we are unable to raise additional capital in the markets in which we Table of Contents Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated) VEON Ltd | Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2025 24

seek to raise it, or at all, or if the cost of raising additional capital significantly increases, which has been the case since the onset of the ongoing war due to monetary policy in response to global inflationary pressures and a number of other factors, we may be unable to make necessary or desired capital expenditures, take advantage of investment opportunities, refinance existing indebtedness or meet unexpected financial requirements, and our growth strategy and liquidity may be negatively affected. This could cause us to be unable to repay indebtedness as it comes due, to delay or abandon anticipated expenditures and investments or otherwise limit operations. For example, the ongoing war in Ukraine has caused us to reconsider our capital outlay to ensure we have sufficient liquidity for maintenance capital expenditures and other key operational spend while at the same time servicing our indebtedness. As a result, capital expenditures that are more discretionary in nature may be put on hold until the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine, and particularly its effects on our liquidity and financial profile, becomes more certain. • As of June 18, 2025, the Company continues to conclude that neither VEON Ltd. nor any of its subsidiaries is targeted by sanctions imposed by any of the United States, European Union (and individual EU member states) and the United Kingdom. However, the interpretation and enforcement of these new sanctions and counter-sanctions may result in unanticipated outcomes and could give rise to material uncertainties, which could complicate our business decisions. For example, to protect U.S. foreign policy and national security interests, the U.S. government has broad discretion to at times impose a broad range of extraterritorial “secondary” sanctions under which non-U.S. persons carrying out certain activities may be penalized or designated as sanctioned parties, even if the activities have no ties, contact with, or nexus to the United States or the U.S. financial system at all. These secondary sanctions could be imposed on the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries if they were to engage in activity that the U.S. government determined was undertaken knowingly and rose to the level of material or significant support to, for, or on behalf of certain sanctioned parties. • Ukraine has also implemented and may implement further sanctions or measures on individuals or entities with close ties to Russia, which may negatively impact Kyivstar if VEON is considered by local Ukrainian authorities as being a company controlled by sanctioned persons. In October 2023, VEON received notification from local custodian that the following percentages of the corporate rights in our Ukrainian subsidiaries have been frozen: (i) 47.85% of Kyivstar, (ii) 100% of Ukraine Tower Company, (iii) 100% of Kyivstar.Tech, and (iv) 69.99% of Helsi Ukraine. On November 29, 2024, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv ruled in favor of a request to unfreeze 47.85% of VEON’s corporate rights in Kyivstar and 100% of VEON’s corporate rights in its other Ukrainian subsidiaries (Ukraine Tower Company, Kyivstar.Tech and Helsi). The decision fully removes the restrictions on VEON’s corporate rights imposed by Ukrainian courts on its wholly owned Kyivstar and the other Ukrainian subsidiaries noted above. • If further measures are adopted and applied in relation to our Ukrainian subsidiary, this could lead to the involuntary deconsolidation of our Ukrainian operations, and could trigger certain financial covenants or non-financial provisions in our debt agreements, requiring accelerated repayment, potentially triggering a cross-default across other debt agreements and negatively impact our liquidity. Management has taken actions to address the events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern: • We have implemented business continuity plans to address known contingency scenarios to ensure that we have adequate processes and practices in place to protect the safety of our people and to handle potential impacts to our operations in Ukraine. • Management actively monitors the Company’s liquidity position, our non-financial provisions in our debt agreements, and our equity levels on a regular and continuous basis both at the group and operating company levels and should they reach a level considered at-risk, management will take actions to ensure our liquidity position is sufficient and our non-financial provisions in our debt agreements are met. • On October 30, 2023, VEON announced that two appeals were filed with the relevant Kyiv courts, challenging the freezing of the corporate rights in Kyivstar and Ukraine Tower Company, noting that corporate rights in Kyivstar and Ukraine Tower Company belong exclusively to VEON, and that their full or partial freezing or seizure directly violates the rights of VEON and its international debt and equity investors, and requesting the lifting of the freezing of its corporate rights in Kyivstar and Ukraine Tower Company. In December 2023, the court rejected the Company’s appeals. On June 4, 2024, the CEO of VEON, in his capacity as a shareholder of VEON, filed a motion with Shevchenkivskiy District Court of Kyiv requesting cancellation of the freeze of corporate rights in the VEON group's subsidiary Ukraine Tower Company. On June 26, 2024, the motion was supplemented to request cancellation of the freezing of corporate rights in the VEON group's other Ukrainian subsidiaries: Kyivstar, Kyivstar.Tech and Helsi Ukraine. VEON continued its significant government affairs efforts to protect our assets in Ukraine. On November 29, 2024, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv ruled in favor of the request to unfreeze 47.85% of VEON’s corporate rights in Kyivstar and 100% of VEON’s corporate rights in its other Ukrainian subsidiaries. After the successful lifting of the court freeze of Kyivstar's shares, VEON is working with its local custodian to remove all remaining restrictions on Kyivstar and its Ukrainian Table of Contents Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated) VEON Ltd | Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2025 25

subsidiaries corporate rights. VEON is pursing steps to meet the conditions required by the local custodian to lift the stipulated freeze. • On January 13, 2025, VEON announced the signing of letter of intent to indirectly list Kyivstar operations on Nasdaq in the United States extending the efforts to strengthen the Ukraine investment . Further on March 18, 2025, it was further announced that VEON Ltd. and Cohen Circle announced the signing of the BCA that will result in the listing of Kyivstar, the leading digital operator in Ukraine, on Nasdaq in the United States. Further, on April 8, 2025, VEON further announced it had successfully completed the reorganization of VEON Holdings B.V. and finalized its consent solicitation process. These steps pave the way for the proposed business combination with Cohen Circle, which is expected to lead to the common shares and warrants of Kyivstar Group, being listing on Nasdaq. • On March 27, 2025, VEON announced the successful syndication US$210 senior unsecured term loan under a new facility agreement from a consortium of international lenders, including ICBC Standard Bank and leading GCC banks. • Management is actively monitoring any new developments in applicable sanctions to ensure that we continue to be in compliance and to evaluate any potential impact on the Company’s financial performance, operations, and governance. Management has actively engaged with sanctions authorities where appropriate. Management is engaging with authorities in Ukraine to address any concerns they have about the ownership and management of Kyivstar and to provide all necessary assurances to confirm that Russian nationals, including any beneficial owners of LetterOne, do not participate in the management of Kyivstar nor are they able to derive any benefits from VEON’s assets in Ukraine. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In accordance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company has determined that the aforementioned conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months after the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance. Management expects the actions it has taken or will take will mitigate the risk associated with the identified events and conditions. However, given the uncertainty and exogenous nature of the ongoing war and potential future imposed sanctions as well as potential new counter-sanctions, and given the possible future imposition of external administration over our Ukrainian operations in particular, management concluded that a material uncertainty remains related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As a U.S. SEC registrant, the Company is required to have its financial statements audited in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) standards. References in these IFRS financial statements to matters that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern also raise substantial doubt as contemplated by the PCAOB standards. NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. A number of new and amended standards became effective as of January 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on VEON financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but have not yet become effective. Amsterdam, June 18, 2025 VEON Ltd.
