How our Children’s Cars program is making train travel more comfortable for Ukraine’s youngest passengers. Picture a train car late at night: windows blacked out, lights off, engines hushed, amid relentless shelling in the distance. In the dark, a child grips a parent's hand, trying to make sense of a trip no kid should have to take. It's meant to be a journey toward safety. But for Ukraine's littlest riders, it doesn’t always feel that way. The truth is, it's only gotten harder to feel safe. According to US News & World Report, attacks on Ukraine's railway climbed sharply in 2025, more than doubling to two or three strikes a week (and by some official counts, closer to ten), as Russia's drones have grown more precise and harder to evade. Yet with skies closed to passenger flights since 2022, trains remain a lifeline for families. Whether evacuating, reuniting with a dad on leave, or just taking a family trip, every journey carries a little more uncertainty than it used to.Now Nova Ukraine is making those train rides less stressful for kids and their parents. Meet Children’s Cars
How We’re Helping Communities Get First Aid Training This Fall September means something different depending on where you live. In the US, it’s all about back-to-school shopping and back-to-work energy, a shared reset after summer. But in Ukraine, where the same seasonal shift is underway, preparation goes far beyond backpacks and planners. As colder weather sets in (winter temps as low as Chicago’s), families are bracing for more shelling of civilian areas, attacks that cause power outages, food shortages, and devastating civilian casualties. Four years into this war, those casualties are still climbing. According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, the first half of 2026 alone brought 1,396 civilian deaths and 7,978 injuries—a 37% increase over the same period last year. Homes, playgrounds, and businesses have all been hit, often before medical teams can reach the scene. In those first critical minutes, it’s whoever’s already there—a kid, neighbor, coworker, or parent—who can make the difference. In these moments, first aid knowledge saves lives. We’re helping to make sure everyone has the first aid skills they need.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) Nova Ukraine applauds the Ohio State Senate for becoming the fifth U.S. state legislature to introduce a resolution condemning Russia’s forced abduction of Ukrainian children. The bipartisan bill (SCR 21) introduced by State Senators Thomas F. Patton (R-Strongsville) and Kent Smith (D-Euclid) “condemns the Russian Federation for the wrongful and illegal abduction, forcible transfer, and subsequent illegal adoption and indoctrination of children from Ukraine.” Ohio joins Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin to take up this issue. To date, only Wisconsin has held a full vote and adopted the resolution. Nova Ukraine Director of Advocacy Aleksandr Krapivkin says:
