       KYIV, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Ukraine's biggest mobile
operator, Kyivstar said on Wednesday it had restored services
after difficulties with voice communications in some Ukrainian
regions.
        The company was hit by a mass cyberattack earlier last
week. 
  
        "Our specialists have resolved the communication
difficulties that arose this morning in a number of cities in
the west and south of Ukraine. The services are now operating as
usual," Kyivstar said on the X social platform.
  
        The company said its network was undergoing
stabilisation after a large-scale hacker attack and there may
still be short-term service difficulties.
  
        Telecoms company Veon  VON.AS  said on Tuesday that its
unit Kyivstar had restored all communications services.
