Summary
Vodafone Ukraine
isp mobile eyeball
Vodafone Ukraine — one of Ukraine's largest mobile operators. It uses the Vodafone brand under a partner-market arrangement and is owned by NEQSOL Holding.
What it's used for
- Mobile data and voice for a large Ukrainian subscriber base, plus fixed broadband and enterprise services.
Notable
- A major consumer "eyeball" network — addresses here are typically mobile devices, often behind carrier-grade NAT.
- Formerly MTS Ukraine; it rebranded to Vodafone and later passed to NEQSOL Holding, the group that also owns Azerbaijan's Bakcell.
Interesting
- Vodafone is used here as a brand licence rather than direct ownership, a common arrangement in Vodafone "partner market" countries.

Classification and threat
Mobile Cellular carrier. Addresses are shared by many handsets via CGNAT.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
