In order to facilitate its clients' communication with their families and friends in Ukraine, Croatia's HT telecom is enabling communication to and from Ukraine for free, the company said on Friday.

HT’s free services comprise text messages as well as landline and mobile calls to all networks in Ukraine, and roaming from Ukraine to all other countries for its clients in Ukraine.

HT said “we are appalled by the developments in Ukraine and sympathise with everyone who is affected.”
