From Eco Picnic to Eco Film Festival
In October 2020, Roman Zhuk brought his wife, Olena, to the Vilshanske Reservoir in Zakarpattia, a beautiful artificial lake in the Carpathian Mountains known locally as the “Transcarpathian Sea.” What they found there was difficult to ignore. Household waste carried downstream had accumulated along its shores in staggering quantities. That same year, Roman and Olena…

On Defenders of Ukraine Day, we honor those who defend Ukraine, remember those who gave their lives, and recognize the families who carry their absence every day.
Ukraine has marked this day since 2014 to honor those who stand in defense of the country, from soldiers and medics on the front line to the volunteers who support them. They protect not only Ukraine's territory, but its people, communities, freedom, and future.
This day also marks the Feast of the Intercession and Ukrainian Cossacks Day. For centuries, Ukrainians have kept this feast in memory of the Mother of God spreading her protective veil over her people, and the Cossacks who guarded their land under it. Today, that protection is carried by Ukraine's defenders.
To every defender: дякуємо. For your courage, sacrifice, and all that you protect.
Share this to your story to help honor them.

In 2023, pétanque was recognized as an adaptive sport and recommended by Ukraine's Ministry of Health for veterans' rehabilitation.
We support pétanque for veterans through our EMPOWER work, helping create spaces for physical activity, connection, and community. Nova Ukraine helps run a league that brings together more than 80 teams across 13 regions.
In Lviv, 50 teams from across the country gathered for the final championship of the All-Ukrainian Veterans Pétanque League. It can be played with any level of physical ability, so every veteran has a place on the court.
Help us tell their story this Day of Defenders by sharing this post.

We started at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, joining thousands of changemakers focused on turning ideas into measurable action.
There, the Nova Ukraine team took part in numerous discussions, including the Ukraine Action Network Working Session. Nova Ukraine CEO Amb. Erin E. McKee shared the results of the 9th Ukraine Action Summit, which concluded with the passage of the Russia sanctions bill.
Together with Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture, Nova Ukraine co-organized a series of events focused on Ukrainian cultural heritage. Amb. Erin McKee took part in the expert discussion “Crimes against Ukrainian Culture as Part of Russia’s Genocidal War,” addressing Russia’s attacks on and appropriation of Ukrainian cultural heritage.
The program also included a photo exhibition exploring the history of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and a lecture dedicated to its history and significance.
Throughout the week, we discussed future projects in Ukraine, built new connections with potential partners, and saw firsthand that global support for Ukraine remains strong.
The photo exhibition “Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra: 975 Years of History - 100 Years of Responsible Preservation” brings together historical and contemporary images documenting the Lavra’s history, preservation, destruction, and restoration.
The exhibition also features “Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Spatial Archive” (2026), documenting the Russian strike on the Dormition Cathedral on June 14-15, 2026.
At a time when Russia’s war continues to threaten Ukraine’s cultural heritage, these photographs remind us: preserving heritage means preserving memory and identity for future generations.

Ukraine’s heritage is part of the world’s shared cultural heritage.
On September 29–30, 1941, Nazi German forces and their auxiliaries murdered 33,771 Jewish men, women, and children at Babyn Yar in Kyiv, one of the largest mass atrocities of the Holocaust.
The killing did not end there. Through 1943, Babyn Yar remained a site of mass murder. Jews, Roma, Ukrainian civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, and others were killed there. An estimated 100,000 people were killed at Babyn Yar in total.
Memory is a responsibility: to preserve the truth, name what happened, and ensure that attempts to erase history do not succeed.
May their memory be eternal.
