Major developments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 JazzWorld enters interest rate swap transactions On January 2, 2026, JazzWorld Pakistan Limited ("JazzWorld"), formerly Pakistan Mobile Communications Limited entered into two interest rate swaps (“IRS”) with United Bank Limited, to hedge against the risk from fluctuations in the Pakistani Rupee ("PKR") floating rate on its loans of PKR75 billion (US$268). The interest rate swaps lock in a fixed interest rate by converting the floating rate to a fixed rate at each payment date and provide certainty over future interest cash flows, reducing exposure to interest fluctuations. These IRS were executed in two tranches of PKR37.5 billion (US$134) each for terms of 5 and 7 years with fixed interest rates of 12.55% and 12.85%, respectively. The IRS have been designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to the PKR floating interest rate.

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. Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments on a regular basis, primarily based on earnings before foreign exchange gain / loss, finance income and costs, tax, depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain / loss on disposals of non-current assets and subsidiaries, other non-operating gains / losses, share of profit / loss of joint ventures and associates and listing expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) along with assessing the capital expenditures excluding certain costs such as those for telecommunication licenses and right-of-use assets (“CAPEX excl. licenses and ROU”). Management does not analyze assets or liabilities by reportable segments. Reportable segments consist of Pakistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Bangladesh. We also present our results of operations for “HQ and eliminations” and “Others” separately, although these are not reportable segments. “HQ, eliminations and Others” represents our operations in Kyrgyzstan and transactions related to management activities within the Group.

Additionally, a total of 12,387,300 equity-settled common shares were granted to the participants as a part of their LTI 2026-28 program. These awards are subject to either market performance condition tied to an absolute share price target or non-market performance condition scorecards. Both programs have a three- year performance period with vesting scheduled for December 31, 2027 for the LTI 2025-27 program and December 31, 2028 for the LTI 2026-28 program. The grant date fair value of awards subject to market-based performance condition was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation that takes into account the probability of achieving the applicable performance conditions. The following table sets forth the principal assumptions applied by VEON in determining the fair value of the newly issued equity settled share-based payment instruments with market performance conditions: Assumptions affecting inputs to fair value model Equity-settled Annual risk-free rates of return and discount rates (%) 3.55% - 4.17% Long-term dividend yield (%) —% Volatility of share price (%) 44.97% - 49.68% Share price (p) $1.89 - $2.09 Additionally, a total of 766,200 equity-settled common shares and 131,200 cash-settled common shares were granted to eligible participants. Under this plan, eligible participants may receive 75% of their STI payout in cash and 25% in the form of equity grant, which vests immediately upon grant. The Company also provides an equivalent number of matching shares, subject to a two-year vesting period. Similarly, certain participants were also granted a total of 694,575 equity-settled common shares as a part of their 50% of STI 2025 converted to equity grant which vested immediately upon grant. These shares are subject to two- year restriction period. During the period, a total of 167,375 equity-settled common shares were also granted to certain eligible participants without performance or service conditions and vested immediately upon grant. Furthermore, a total of 100,000 equity-settled common shares were granted subject solely to service-based vesting conditions to certain eligible participants. A total of 1,277,300 net common shares were transferred to employees in settlement of previously vested awards and newly granted awards with immediate vesting. In connection with the settlement of these awards, 250,905 common shares were withheld to satisfy applicable employee tax withholding obligations.

VEON's Deferred Share Plan (“DSP”) During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a total of 547,175 equity-settled and 226,198 cash-settled common shares vested and were settled with employees under various previously granted awards. In connection with the settlement of equity- settled awards, 148,011 common shares were withheld to satisfy applicable employee tax withholding obligations. VEON's Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a total of 16,616,800 net equity-settled and 3,054,766 cash-settled common shares were transferred or cash-settled with the employees during the period in respect of vested grants under the LTI 2023-25 program.

In addition, the Remuneration Committee of VEON approved the accelerated vesting of an award for a former employee of 1,053,628 cash-settled common shares granted in April 2024 under the LTI 2024-26 program. The award was originally subject to a three-year vesting period, with vesting scheduled for December 31, 2026. Following the Committee’s approval, the award vested early and was settled with the former employee in March 2026.

4 INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is the total of the current and deferred income taxes. The Group calculates the period income tax expense using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings. Income tax expense consisted of the following for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30: Nine-month period Three-month period 2026 2025 2026 2025 Current income taxes (216) (259) (64) (39) Deferred income taxes 16 129 (16) (5) Income taxes (200) (130) (80) (44) Effective tax rate 29.1 % 17.8 % 26.2 % (53.0) % The variance between the statutory tax rate of 9% and the Group’s effective tax rate (ETR) of 29.1% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 is primarily attributable to the higher tax rates in key jurisdictions where VEON operates, including Pakistan (37%), Ukraine (18%), Kazakhstan (20%), Uzbekistan (20%) and Bangladesh (45%). The Group’s ETR increased year-on-year across both the nine-month and three-month periods. The negative rate in the three- month period of 2025 reflects Group-level consolidated losses arising from subsidiary disposals (Kyrgyzstan) and listing expense recognized in that period, while certain subsidiaries generated taxable profits and recorded current income tax expense in their local jurisdictions — producing a tax charge against a consolidated pre-tax loss. The movement in the nine-month effective rate is attributable to the normalization of tax outcomes following completion of the Deodar transaction in Q2 2025 - one-off item driving the ETR lower. There were no comparative one-off items in Q3 2026. Global Minimum Tax VEON Ltd., as the ultimate parent entity (“UPE”), and its consolidated group (the “Group”) fall within the scope of enacted Pillar Two legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Group recognized current Pillar Two top-up tax expense of US$5 in respect of Uklon, a constituent entity within the Kyivstar Group located in Cyprus. The top-up tax is payable in Cyprus under the qualified domestic minimum top-up tax (“QDMTT”), fully offsetting any income inclusion rule liability at the parent level. The assessment of the Group’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements of the constituent entities within the Group. Based on this assessment, the Pillar Two effective tax rates in the majority of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%, with the exception of Cyprus, where Uklon is located, as described above. The Group has applied the mandatory temporary exception under IAS 12 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 VEON acquires TPL Insurance in Pakistan On March 6, 2026, VEON announced its wholly owned subsidiary, JIHL, had entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling stake in TPL Insurance, a publicly listed digital-first insurance provider in Pakistan, offering auto, health, fire and property insurance products through its well-established distribution capabilities, and holding a general insurer license. On July 13, 2026, JIHL completed its acquisition of TPL Insurance, with an aggregate shareholding of approximately 76.33%. Total consideration transferred for this acquisition amounts to US$16 which was paid in full in cash in Pakistani Rupees. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, with results of TPL Insurance consolidated from that date. As disclosed in the Q2 2026 interim financial statements, a 6.67% stake was acquired via MTO in June 2026. The share purchase agreement and MTO were assessed as a single integrated transaction. The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of TPL Insurance at the date of acquisition were: July 13, 2026 Non-current assets Property and equipment 1 Intangible assets 10 Current assets Investments 3 Insurance and reinsurance contract assets * 7 Trade and other receivables 1 Cash and cash equivalents 17 Non-current liabilities Deferred tax liability (3) Current liabilities Insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities * (16) Trade and other payables (3) Current Income tax payables (1) Other current liabilities (1) Fair value of identifiable net assets 15 Goodwill resulting from acquisition 9 Non-controlling interest (8) Purchase consideration 16 * Insurance and reinsurance contract assets and Insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities have been aggregated into Trade and other receivables and Other current liabilities on the face on balance sheet respectively. The following table shows the details of cash outflow during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026: September 30, 2026 Cash outflow, net of cash acquired Cash consideration 16 Less: balances acquired Cash and cash equivalents (17) Net inflow of cash - investing activities (1) Non-controlling interests of TPL Insurance were measured at fair value at the acquisition date using a market approach based on the quoted share price of TPL Insurance shares on the date of acquisition.

The investments of US$3 comprise government securities, which were recognised at fair value at the acquisition date based on quoted market yields for comparable instruments. Subsequent to acquisition, these are measured at amortized cost. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined to be US$2 with an estimated useful life of 13 years and the fair value of the Takaful contracts was determined to be US$7 with an estimated useful life of 30 years. These fair values were determined using the multi-period excess earnings. The multi-period excess earnings approach involves forecasting the net earnings expected to be generated by the asset, reducing them by appropriate returns on contributory assets, and then discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the insurance license intangible asset was determined to be US$1 with an indefinite useful life. The fair value of the insurance license was determined using the replacement cost method. In the replacement cost method, the fair value of an asset is based on the cost a market participant would incur to obtain an insurance license of comparable utility, adjusted for any obsolescence. The goodwill recognized from the acquisition of TPL Insurance can be attributed to several factors that do not meet the criteria for separate recognition as identifiable intangible assets. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. There were no transactions recognized separately from the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in the business combination. From the date of acquisition, TPL Insurance contributed US$7 of revenue and less than US$1 of profit before tax to VEON. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the contribution to revenue would have been US$17 and contribution to the profit before tax for VEON would have been less than US$1. Acquisition-related costs of less than US$1 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement, and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The accounting for purchase of TPL Insurance is provisional as the valuation of certain intangible assets, insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities, current, non-current liabilities and residual goodwill related to this acquisition is not complete. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is obtained within the measurement period ending July 12, 2027 (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). VEON expands digital healthcare services with Acquisition of Tabletki.ua As disclosed in Note 1 - General information, on February 10, 2026, Kyivstar Group Ltd. ("KGL"), a majority-owned subsidiary of VEON, signed a share purchase agreement ("SPA") to acquire 100% of the shares of MTPK LLC and its subsidiaries (together, the "Tabletki Group") for a total consideration of US$161 upon closing of the transaction. Tabletki Group, established in 2008, is a Ukrainian business specializing in the development and maintenance of the automated platform for searching and booking medicines and other products from pharmacies in Ukraine. This strategic acquisition marks VEON’s expansion into digital healthcare and pharmacy-related consumer services in line with VEON's digital operator strategy. Tabletki Group consists of MTPK LLC, Farmel LLC, and Farma Studio LLC. The total consideration transferred amounts to US$161, which was paid in full in cash in Ukrainian hryvnia. The agreement was subject to customary closing conditions and approvals that were obtained on February 10, 2026, the date the acquisition was completed. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of Tabletki Group at the date of acquisition were: February 10, 2026 Non-current assets Intangible assets 79 Current assets Cash and cash equivalents 2 Other current assets 1 Current liabilities (3) Fair value of identifiable net assets 79 Goodwill resulting from acquisition 82 Purchase consideration 161 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 18
The following table shows the details of cash outflow during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026: September 30, 2026 Cash outflow, net of cash acquired Cash consideration 161 Less: balances acquired Cash and cash equivalents (2) Net outflow of cash - investing activities 159 The fair value of the customer base was determined to be US$61 with an estimated useful life of 12 years. The valuation of the customer relationships was performed using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value of the brands and trademarks was determined to be US$12 with an estimated useful life of 10 years. The valuation of the brands and trademarks was performed using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. The fair value of the internally developed software was determined to be US$6 with an estimated useful life of 7 years. The valuation of the internally developed software was performed using the replacement cost approach. The fair value of acquired other current assets related to trade and other receivables is US$1, which approximates the gross contractual amount, as a loss allowance is insignificant. The fair value of acquired other current liabilities amounted to US$3 and primarily comprised advances received from customers. The goodwill recognized on the acquisition of Tabletkі Group represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. Goodwill primarily reflects the expected synergies arising from the integration of Tabletkі Group into the Group’s operations, including enhanced market presence in the digital healthcare ecosystem, access to established customer relationships, expansion into new digital services, and the development and deployment of new digital devices leveraging combined technological capabilities. These benefits do not meet the criteria for separate recognition as identifiable intangible assets. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. There were no transactions recognized separately from the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in the business combination. From the date of acquisition, Tabletki Group contributed US$21 of revenue and US$13 profit before tax to VEON. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the contribution to revenue would have been US$24 and contribution to profit before tax for VEON would have been US$15. Acquisition-related costs of US$1 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated income statement, and in operating cash flows in the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, KGL finalized the accounting for the acquisition of Tabletki Group in accordance with IFRS 3. The finalization resulted in measurement period adjustments to the acquisition date fair values of identifiable net assets and goodwill as described below. The measurement period adjustments reflected additional information obtained after the acquisition date about facts and circumstances that existed as of that date and comprised: • an increase in purchase consideration of US$1 following the finalization of the post-closing completion accounts adjustment mechanism; and • an increase of US$2 in the fair value of internally developed software recognized as an identifiable intangible asset. The corresponding adjustments were recognized retrospectively as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Acquisition of ISP Shtorm LLC On February 26, 2026, KGL acquired 100% of the equity interests in ISP Shtorm LLC ("Shtorm"), a regional fixed broadband internet service provider operating in Ukraine. This strategic acquisition supports VEON’s continued expansion in the fixed broadband segment and strengthens its position in converged telecommunications services. KGL acquired 100% of Shtorm for total consideration of US$10 upon the closing of the transaction on February 26, 2026. Upon completion of the transaction, US$7 of the total consideration was paid in cash, with the remaining US$3 recognized as deferred consideration, subject to customary closing adjustments. Based on the initial purchase price allocation, the fair value of 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 19
the net assets acquired was US$4 at the acquisition date, resulting in the recognition of goodwill of US$6, primarily attributable to expected synergies from integrating the acquired business into VEON’s operations and the assembled workforce. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the deferred consideration of US$3 was fully settled. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, KGL finalized the purchased price allocation for the acquisition of Shtorm. The final acquisition date fair values of identifiable nets assets acquired and goodwill are as stated above. From the acquisition date, the contribution of Shtorm to VEON’s revenue is US$2 and profit before tax is less than US$1. VEON expands renewable energy with acquisition of six solar power plants On May 26, 2026, VEON announced that KGL acquired 100% of the equity interests in six solar power plant entities consisting of Energopostach-Plus LLC, Lightful LLC, Sunlight Generation LLC, Ternovytsia Solar LLC, Energy Space LLC and Ternovytsia Solar Plus LLC, for cash consideration of US$71 paid to the seller. Prior to the acquisition, KGL also provided approximately US$11 of reimbursable financial assistance to the target companies to refinance existing bank indebtedness. The acquired entities own and operate six solar power plants located in the Lviv region of Ukraine with a combined installed generation capacity of 105 MW. The acquisition is consistent with the VEON’s strategy to expand its energy generation capabilities and enhance energy independence through investments in renewable energy infrastructure. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. The allocation of the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provisional as of September 30, 2026. VEON is in the process of finalizing the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities, including property and equipment and any related deferred tax balances. Any measurement period adjustments identified during the measurement period will be recognized retrospectively in accordance with IFRS 3. The provisional fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date were as follows: May 26, 2026 Non-current assets Property and equipment 49 Intangible assets 11 Deferred tax assets 3 Current assets Trade receivables and other assets 6 Cash and cash equivalents 2 Current liabilities (11) Non-current liabilities Deferred tax liability (7) Other non-current liabilities (1) Fair value of identifiable net assets 52 Goodwill resulting from acquisition 19 Purchase consideration 71 The following table shows the details of cash outflow during nine-month period ended September 30, 2026: September 30, 2026 Cash outflow, net of cash acquired Cash consideration 71 Less: balances acquired Cash and cash equivalents (2) Net outflow of cash - investing activities 69 The acquired property and equipment primarily comprise solar power plant infrastructure, including solar modules, inverters, transformers, structures, buildings, grid-related equipment, other fixed assets and construction in progress. Excluding construction in progress, the depreciable acquired property, plant and equipment have an estimated weighted-average remaining useful life of approximately 17 years. The acquired property, plant and equipment were provisionally measured at a fair value of US$49, representing a fair value step-up of approximately US$31 over the acquiree’s carrying amounts immediately prior to the 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 20
acquisition. The valuation of the property and equipment was performed using the cost approach, specifically the current replacement cost method. An identifiable asset relating to feed-in tariff arrangements was recognized at its acquisition date fair value of US$11. The asset was recognized separately from goodwill as it arises from contractual and other legal rights existing at the acquisition date and is expected to generate economic benefits through regulated feed-in tariff rates until the expiry of the feed-in tariff regime on December 31, 2029. The intangible asset has an estimated useful life of approximately 4 years, corresponding to the period from the acquisition date (May 26, 2026) to the expiry of the feed-in tariff arrangements on December 31, 2029. The fair value of the intangible asset was determined using an income approach, applying a with-and-without method. Under this approach, fair value reflects the present value of the incremental cash flows attributable to the feed-in tariff arrangements. The fair value of acquired trade receivables and other assets is US$6, which approximates the gross contractual amount, as a loss allowance is insignificant. As disclosed above, current liabilities include approximately US$11 of reimbursable financial assistance provided to the target entities prior to the acquisition to refinance existing bank indebtedness. This financial assistance was accounted for separately from the acquisition and was not included in consideration transferred. The deferred tax asset of US$3 primarily relates to cumulative tax losses available for future utilization. The deferred tax liability of US$7 primarily arises from fair value adjustments and the recognition of identifiable assets as part of the purchase price allocation following the acquisition. The goodwill recognized on the acquisition of the solar power plants represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. Goodwill primarily reflects the expected synergies arising from the integration of the solar power plants into VEON’s operations, including enhanced energy security, reduced exposure to energy market price fluctuations, and operational synergies from integrating the acquired solar plants into the VEON's existing Infrastructure business operations. These benefits do not meet the criteria for separate recognition as identifiable intangible assets. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Other than financial assistance provided prior to acquisition (as disclosed above), there were no transactions recognized separately from the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in the business combination. From the date of acquisition, the solar power plants contributed US$8 of revenue and US$4 profit before tax to VEON. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period, the contribution to revenue would have been US$15 and contribution to the profit before tax would have been US$7. Acquisition-related costs of US$1 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated income statement, and in operating cash flows in the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The accounting for the purchase of the six solar power plants is provisional as the valuation of property and equipment, intangible and other assets and liabilities, and residual goodwill related to this acquisition is not complete. Additional information is being obtained and evaluated in relation to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, including final asset-level valuation inputs and assumptions, the assessment of contractual arrangements and obligations, and supporting documentation for certain assets and liabilities existing at the acquisition date. Accordingly the fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). Liquidation of VC ESOP During June 2026, VEON completed the liquidation of VC ESOP entity in Belgium, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VEON held through VEON Amsterdam B.V. As a result, VEON lost control of VC ESOP and accounted for the transaction as a disposal of a subsidiary under IFRS 10. VC ESOP constituted a foreign operation and, accordingly, the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve relating to VC ESOP was reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal in accordance with IAS 21. The amount reclassified was US$19 and was recognized within gain on disposal of subsidiaries, net in the condensed interim consolidated income statement. The cumulative translation reserve primarily related to historical exchange differences recognized before VC ESOP changed its functional currency to US dollars in 2016. Translation differences recognized after that date were not significant. VC ESOP had no material net assets or liabilities at the date control was lost. No material gain or loss arose on disposal apart from the reclassification of the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve. Liquidation of Bardym Enterprises Limited During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, VEON completed the liquidation of Bardym Enterprises Limited ("Bardym"), entity in Cyprus, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VEON held through VEON Intermediate Holdings B.V..

Bardym, constituted foreign operations and, accordingly, the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve relating to Bardym was reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal in accordance with IAS 21. The amount reclassified was US$12 and was recognized within gain on disposal of subsidiaries, net in the condensed interim consolidated income statement. The cumulative translation reserve primarily related to historical exchange differences recognized before Bardym changed its functional currency to US dollars in 2024. Translation differences recognized after that date were not significant. Bardym had no material net assets or liabilities at the date control was lost. No material gain or loss arose on disposal apart from the reclassification of the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve. Sale of Medcable On September 3, 2026, VEON signed a SPA for the sale of its 100% stake in Med Cable Limited ("Med Cable") which was held by VEON Algeria Holdings B.V. (an indirect subsidiary of the Company) to H & Suliman Consulting LLC for a consideration of one nominal U.S. dollar. Subsequently on September 11, 2026 upon fulfillment of all conditions subject to closing, the control of Med Cable was transferred to H & Suliman Consulting LLC. Consequently, the Company derecognized the net liabilities of US$3 and reclassified the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve of US$16 resulting in gain on sale of subsidiary of US$19. Sale of QazCode assets to Amdocs On September 30, 2026, QazCode LLP (subsidiary of Kar-Tel) sold the five software applications to Amdocs Services Kazakhstan LLP for a total consideration of US$38, of which part is deferred over two years.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 NASDAQ listing of Kyivstar Group via de-SPAC transaction On August 14, 2025, Cohen Circle (or SPAC), merged with a subsidiary of the Company, with Cohen Circle surviving the merger. As part of this transaction, Kyivstar Group effectively acquired SPAC’s net assets of approximately US$162 (consisting of US$178 in cash and liabilities of US$16 in accrued transaction costs), in exchange for Kyivstar Group common shares, vesting securities and warrants. As a result of the transaction, Kyivstar Group recognized a listing expense calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred above the net assets of Cohen Circle. The listing expense of US$162 was recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 and calculated based on the total fair value of equity issued of US$324, net of the SPAC's net assets acquired of US$162. As a result, VEON’s interest in Kyivstar Group decreased from 100% to 89.6% and the Group recognized a non-controlling interest, measured utilizing a proportionate interest method, of US$356 adjusted by a re-attributed portion of accumulated currency translation loss related to the non-controlling interest of US$215. The Group also incurred US$30 of transaction costs that were deducted from the net proceeds from the transaction. The following table summarizes the proceeds raised net of transaction costs incurred in relation to the transaction: Amount SPAC cash balance 178 SPAC accrued transaction costs (16) SPAC cash net of transaction costs 162 Transaction costs incurred by VEON (30) Net proceeds from the transaction 132 The following table provides the snapshot of fair value of consideration and calculation of listing expense: USD in millions, except share/warrant and per share/warrant data Per share/warrant value Shares / Warrants Fair Value Ordinary shares $ 12.70 22,597,245 287 Vesting securities - Tranche 1 $ 8.70 661,919 6 Vesting securities - Tranche 2 $ 8.10 661,919 5 Warrants fair value (Note 8) $ 3.35 7,666,629 26 Fair value of consideration 324 Cohen Circle Net Assets Acquired 162 Excess of fair value of consideration over Cohen Circle’s net assets (IFRS 2 Charge for listing service) 162 The Group issued 7,666,629 warrants in exchange for each of the 7,666,629 issued and outstanding Cohen Circle warrants that were automatically surrendered at the closing date of the transaction. These warrants have been determined to be derivative instruments that will or might be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of own equity instruments, they meet the definition of financial liabilities. The Group has determined that the warrants should be classified as derivative financial liabilities under IFRS and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement (refer to Note 8 - Investments, debt and derivatives for further details). The vesting securities represent a potential contingent payment arrangement which are considered a share-based payment under IFRS 2. The vesting is based on a market condition, linked to Kyivstar Group's share price. There is no service condition attached to the vesting of the shares. As a result, this condition is considered to be a non-vesting condition rather than a market condition. The non-vesting condition was taken into account when estimating the grant date fair value of the vesting shares issued. The IFRS 2 fair value of the vesting securities was calculated and included in the determination of the listing expense recognized in the income statement. As the vesting securities are classified as an equity-settled share-based payment, there is no subsequent remeasurement of these securities. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the vesting securities. The use of the Monte Carlo simulation model required the Company to make estimates and assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate which were based on the best information available to management at the time of closing. VEON sale of Beeline Kyrgyzstan On August 1, 2025, a share purchase agreement was signed between Menacrest AG and Open Joint Stock Company Eldik Bank (“Eldik Bank”) for the sale of Beeline Kyrgyzstan operations. On August 13, 2025, VEON announced that it had completed the sale of Sky Mobile LLC, operating under the Beeline brand in Kyrgyzstan, to Eldik Bank. The transaction was completed 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 23

Completion of the sale of VEON's stake in Med Cable Limited, which is held by VEON Algeria Holdings B.V. (an indirect subsidiary of the Company), is subject to conditions specified in the SPA. As a result of this anticipated transaction and assessment that control of Med Cable Limited will be transferred, as from the date of the SPA signing, the Company classified Med Cable Limited as held for sale. As of June 30, 2026, the management had reassessed and concluded that a sale was no longer probable and decided to discontinue the disposal plan. As a result, the criteria for classification as held for sale under IFRS 5 were no longer met as of June 30, 2026 and the Company reversed the held for sale classification and reclassified the assets and liabilities of Med Cable Limited to their respective line items in the consolidated statement of financial position, as of that date. Subsequently, during September 2026, VEON finalized the sale agreement with a new buyer and consequently sold the entity, see above for further details during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. Acquisition of Uklon On March 19, 2025, VEON announced its wholly-owned subsidiary Kyivstar had signed an agreement to acquire Uklon group (“Uklon”), a leading Ukrainian ride-hailing and delivery platform. This strategic acquisition marks Kyivstar’s expansion into a new area of digital consumer services in line with VEON’s digital operator strategy. Kyivstar acquired 97% of Uklon shares for a total consideration of US$158 upon the closing of the transaction. The agreement was subject to customary closing conditions and approvals that were obtained on April 2, 2025, the date the acquisition was completed. 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 24
The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of Uklon at the date of acquisition were: April 2, 2025 Non-current assets Intangible assets 58 Current assets Trade and other receivables 2 Cash and cash equivalents 12 Non-current liabilities Deferred tax liability (7) Current liabilities Trade and employee related payables (6) Other current liabilities (10) Fair value of identifiable net assets 49 Goodwill resulting from acquisition 109 Purchase consideration 158 The following table shows the details of purchase consideration at the acquisition date: April 2, 2025 Cash paid * 141 Fair value of contingent consideration 16 Put option liability 1 Total purchase consideration 158 * Total cash consideration consisted of US$129 for the acquisition of 97% of Uklon Group’s shares and a US$12 payment to settle employee awards. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, US$9 of contingent consideration was paid. The following table shows the details of cash outflow during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025: September 30, 2025 Cash consideration 153 Less: balances acquired Cash and cash equivalents (12) Net outflow of cash - investing activities 141 Contingent consideration of US$12 recognized as of the acquisition date has been fully paid as of September 30, 2025. Employees bonuses contingent consideration liability related to the portion attributable to pre-acquisition service, recognized at the acquisition date at fair value, resulted from the replacement of share-based payment rewards with new bonuses liability that is payable upon fulfillment of certain conditions under the SPA. The possible outcomes range from nil to US$4, with management assessing full payment as highly probable. As part of the agreement, Kyivstar entered into a symmetrical put and call option agreement for the remaining 3% interest in Uklon. The put and call options may be exercised from April 2, 2028 through April 2, 2035. As a result, on the acquisition date, VEON determined that it had a present ownership interest in the remaining 3% interest in Uklon and has accounted for the call and put option as part of the consideration transferred and therefore, no non-controlling interest was recognized. Accordingly, the option has been recorded as a financial liability at the present value of the amounts payable on exercise with subsequent changes recognized in the interim condensed consolidated income statement. The fair value of the customer base was determined to be US$32 with an estimated useful life of 10 years. The fair value of the customer base was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The multi-period excess earnings approach involves forecasting the net earnings expected to be generated by the asset, reducing them by appropriate returns on contributory assets, and then discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the trademark was determined to be US$18 with an estimated useful life of 10 years. The fair value of the trademark was determined using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This involves forecasting avoided 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 25
royalties, reducing them by taxes and discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset was determined to be US$8 with an estimated useful life of 3 years. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using the replacement cost approach. In the replacement cost approach, the fair value of an asset is based on the cost of a market participant to reconstruct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for any obsolescence. The fair value of acquired trade and other receivables is US$2, which is very close to the gross contractual amount, as a loss allowance is insignificant. The significant goodwill recognized from the acquisition of Uklon can be attributed to several factors, including Uklon's strong brand value and established customer relationships, which enhance Kyivstar’s market position. Additionally, the integration of Uklon’s services is expected to create operational synergies, leading to cost savings and improved service offerings. The acquisition also allows for market expansion and increased subscriber growth potential, while Uklon's technological expertise contributes to innovative capabilities. Overall, the goodwill reflects the anticipated future economic benefits arising from these elements. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes. There were no transactions recognized separately from the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in the business combination. From the date of acquisition, Uklon contributed US$46 of revenue and US$14 profit before tax to VEON. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the contribution to revenue would have been US$66 and contribution to the profit before tax for VEON would have been US$19. These amounts have been calculated using Uklon’s results and adjusting them for: • differences in the accounting policies between VEON and Uklon, and • additional amortization that would have been charged on the assumption that the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had applied from January 1, 2025, together with their consequential tax effects. Acquisition-related costs of US$0.5 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated income statement, and in operating cash flows in the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the three-month period end period ended September 30, 2025, VEON recorded measurement period adjustments related to the acquisition of Uklon to reflect additional information identified after the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The adjustments include recognition of US$6 of unpaid transaction costs as assumed liabilities and a total decrease of US$1 related to the fair value of the put option liability and deferred tax liability. As a result, the fair value of identifiable net assets decreased from US$54 million to US$49, and goodwill increased from US$104 to US$109. These adjustments were made within the measurement period and reflect facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date. VEON sale of its Pakistan tower portfolio to Engro Corp On December 5, 2024, VEON announced that it is entering into a strategic partnership with Engro Corporation Limited (“Engro Corp”) with respect to the pooling and management of its infrastructure assets, starting in Pakistan. Under the partnership, VEON's infrastructure assets under Deodar (Private) Limited (“Deodar”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VEON, will vest into Engro Corp via a scheme of arrangement upon completion of conditions under the partnership which primarily include receipt of regulatory approvals from relevant Government authorities in Pakistan. VEON will continue to lease Deodar’s extensive infrastructure for the provision of nationwide mobile voice and data services under a long-term partnership agreement. On April 30, 2025, based on the expected closing conditions of the transaction, management assessed that the sale of Deodar is considered to be highly probable and therefore, the assets and liabilities of Deodar were classified as held for sale. Following the classification as held for sale, the Company did not account for depreciation and amortization expenses of Deodar’s assets. On June 3, 2025, upon successful completion of the transaction after all regulatory and other approvals were obtained, control over Deodar was assessed to be transferred to Engro Corp. As per the terms of the agreement, total consideration was US$562.5 out of which US$187.5 was paid upfront and remaining was to be paid in US$20 equal monthly installments over the period of 19 months from date of completion. The deferred sale consideration was discounted and recognized at present value resulting in total consideration to be recorded at the date of completion for US$547.5. PMCL and Engro Corp also entered into a Master Tower Agreement ("MTA") under which VEON leased back the extensive part of the sold Deodar's infrastructure assets for an initial non-cancellable lease term of 12 years. Overall, lease liabilities in the amount of US$633 and, as a result of the sale-and-leaseback arrangements, retained right-of-use assets together with the service component in the amount of US$333 were recognized. The portion of the gain attributable to the retained use of the sold assets, amounting to US$300, will have an impact on profit or loss in later periods by way of lower depreciation of the capitalized right-of-use assets. Furthermore, US$454 of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences gains related to Deodar foreign operations recognized in other comprehensive income was reclassified from equity to consolidated income statement upon 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 26

(an indirect subsidiary of the Company), was subject to conditions specified in the SPA and on April 2, 2025, the control of VWS was transferred to H & Suliman Consulting LLC and the Company recorded a loss on sale of subsidiary of US$5.

A gain of US$0.1 was recognized in profit or loss, reflecting only the amount of the gain attributable to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. The remaining portion of the gain, amounting to US$2 and relating to the Group’s retained right of use, was not recognized immediately and will be reflected over future periods through lower depreciation of the recognized right-of-use asset.

7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS The following table summarizes the movement in the net book value of intangible assets, including goodwill for the nine-month period ended September 30: 2026 2025 Balance as of January 1 1,549 1,510 Acquisition 218 167 Additions * 326 84 Disposals and write offs (2) (1) Divestment and reclassification to held for sale — (58) Amortization (192) (169) Currency translation 2 (8) Transfers (3) 10 Balance as of September 30 1,898 1,535 * Includes 5G Spectrum license in Pakistan for approximately US$209, refer Note1 - General Information for further details. Goodwill Goodwill is included within the above total intangible asset. The significant additions during the period were relating to the acquisitions as explained in Note 5 - significant transactions. Allocation of Goodwill Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, Cash Generating Unit "CGU" to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. In 2026, the Group documented this allocation approach and applied it consistently to all existing goodwill balances. The only change arose in Ukraine where the goodwill from the acquisition of Uklon which was previously tested at the level of Uklon CGU is now allocated to, and tested at, the Ukraine group of CGUs level. The change did not result in any impairment loss in the current or comparative period. Impairment analysis Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (at September 30) or when circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company's impairment test is primarily based on fair value less cost of disposal calculations (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) using a discounted cash flow model, based on cash flow projections from business plans prepared by management adjusted to align with an average market participant view, where necessary. The Company considers, amongst other things, the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, as well as the weighted average cost of capital and the quarterly financial performance of group of CGUs when reviewing for indicators of impairment in interim periods. The Group’s non-goodwill CGUs are reviewed for indicators of impairment or reversal at each reporting date, and a full test is performed where an indicator is identified. The Company will provide detailed disclosures of key assumptions, methodologies, and sensitivity analyses in its annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2026. Based on impairment tests performed at September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, no impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets was identified in any CGU. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 impairment losses of US$6 (2025: US$6) were recognized for specific items of property and equipment that had suffered physical damage or deterioration.

VEON announces agreement with the Dhabi Group regarding historical claims under a shareholders agreement (ADG resolution) On March 12, 2026, VEON announced that it had entered into an agreement with the Dhabi Group regarding historical claims under a shareholders agreement. As part of this agreement, VEON welcomed the Dhabi Group, whose principal is His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, as a shareholder in the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Dhabi Group fully withdrew all its claims and VEON agreed to pay the Dhabi Group US$120 in cash plus US$30 equivalent in ADSs (the "ADS Payment"). Additionally, twenty-four months after the date of agreement, VEON will make further cash payment equal to the difference of US$60 and the market value of the ADS Payment at a future date. Accordingly, VEON recognized a provision of US$170 as of December 31, 2025, representing management’s estimate of the expected outflow. Following execution of the accelerated resolution agreement, the US$170 provision recognized as of December 31, 2025 was reclassified to financial liabilities and subsequently accounted for within the scope of IFRS 9. The liability was then partially settled through a cash payment of US$120 and the transfer of US$30 equivalent in ADSs, resulting in the transfer of 13,794,400 VEON common shares (551,776 ADSs), determined based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price of US$54.40 per ADS. In accordance with IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments, the extinguishment of the financial liability through the issue of equity instruments was measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments transferred. The ADS Payment had a fair value of US$27 at the transfer date, resulting in a gain of US$3 recognized within other non-operating gain / (loss), net, in the interim condensed consolidated income statement. During the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026, the remaining unsettled embedded derivative component of the resolution agreement was accounted for as a derivative financial liability under IFRS 9 and remeasured to a fair value of US$18 as of September 30, 2026 using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in a fair value gain of US$2 and US$10 respectively during the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 within the interim condensed consolidated income statement. JazzWorld enters Interest Rate Swap Transactions As disclosed in Note 1 - General information, JazzWorld entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows arising from changes in PKR floating interest rates on borrowings with an aggregate principal amount of PKR75 billion (US$268). The swaps are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships under IFRS 9 using a hedge ratio of 1:1, consistent with the Group’s risk management strategy. The Group assesses, at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging relationships continue to meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, including the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, that the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes arising from that economic relationship, and that the hedge ratio remains consistent with that used for risk management purposes. The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is determined using observable market data, including interest rate curves, adjusted as necessary to reflect the limited liquidity of the PKR interest rate market. Throughout the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the hedging relationships remained effective and continued to qualify for hedge accounting.

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$3,248 at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: US$3,091); and • 'Lease liabilities', for which fair value has not been determined. Fair values are determined in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement 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 nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 34
date. VEON classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that incorporate significant unobservable inputs. 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2026, the financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value include: • Warrants at Level 1. As the warrants are actively traded, no valuation adjustments are required; • Net derivatives designated as cash flow hedge at Level 2. The fair value of the derivatives is based on interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; • Derivative relating to ADG resolution at Level 2. The fair value of the derivative is based on observable market inputs and determined using a mark-to-market methodology using the Black-Scholes model; and • Other equity investments relating to minority equity interests in private companies at Level 3. Fair value of other equity investments is determined using recent funding transactions or, in the absence of recent funding transactions, using a qualitative approach considering revenue trends, macroeconomic conditions (risk-free rate and country risk premium), foreign exchange movements, management’s assessment of business performance, and publicly available information. A sensitivity analysis for a 10% change in the principal benchmark inputs would not result in a material change in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 investments as at the reporting date.

15 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIS OF PREPARATION The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Group has prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The preparation of these unaudited 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 unaudited interim condensed 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. NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these 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, 2025. A number of new and amended standards became effective as of January 1, 2026, 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. Dubai, November 6, 2026 VEON Ltd.
