Pavlovsky claims that it is the ordinary Ukrainian consumers who bear the brunt of these price hikes, paying higher prices without any clear justification.
In his view, there was no pressing need for the tariff increases. However, mobile companies are focused on maintaining their profits and are unwilling to lose even a small portion of it, he explains.
Pavlovsky also urges government regulators to take a more active role in monitoring the actions of mobile operators, ensuring that they do not raise tariffs without a valid reason or excessive profit.
