Portable X-Ray Machines Help Save Lives Every Day

Over the past few months, Nova Ukraine has distributed eight X-ray machines to the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kirovohrad regions. Four more are planned to be delivered this year and are currently being manufactured in Ukraine for us.

Doctors report that the machines can handle up to 100 images per day, depending on the workload of the medical facility. The X-ray machines delivered in 2024 have already helped over 12,000 citizens of Ukraine. The 34 X-ray machines delivered in 2022-2023 have helped more than 200,000 citizens of Ukraine. These machines can be lifesavers for almost any patient. It is critically important that X-ray examinations can be done on-site, saving doctors valuable time in determining the necessary treatment.

Here’s one of the thousands of feedbacks from doctors:

“Thank you for the equipment you provided: the X-ray machine, the operating table, and the surgical lamp. They help us perform our work effectively every day and save as many lives of our people as possible.

Today, we received a severely wounded patient with multiple shrapnel injuries to the chest, left leg, and face. If we didn’t have the X-ray machine, we wouldn’t have been able to confidently determine that there was no open cranial trauma and would have spent more time investigating it. With the X-ray machine, we were able to promptly diagnose hemopneumothorax and drain the pleural cavity, preventing a progressive deterioration of the patient’s condition. Despite a four-hour tourniquet, we saw an opportunity and managed to save the young man’s leg by performing a necessary fasciotomy with proper lighting and on the correct surgical table.

This is just one soldier among hundreds. Stabilized, with his leg saved, he was transferred to the next stages of evacuation. Thank you.”

Last-Minute Push for Russia Sanctions Bill

The American Coalition for Ukraine’s (ACU) fall Ukraine Action Summit arrived at a pivotal moment: the final days before the House vote on the Russia sanctions bill.As lawmakers weighed their positions, advocates for Ukraine met with them as constituents, in some cases becoming the last people to make a direct appeal before the vote.Interviews with participants offer a close-up view of those tense hours: lawmakers’ hesitation, advocates’ arguments, and the effort to turn uncertainty into support and a “yes” vote.Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) had spent more than a year pressing Congress to adopt sweeping new sanctions against Russia. Weeks after his death in July, the Senate renamed the legislation in his honor and passed it 86 to 11, an overwhelming bipartisan vote that sent the measure to the House.

Ukrainian Students Excel in Space Robotics Competition

Perhaps those wondering what the future holds for Ukraine should look to outer space. The Space Robotics team from Ukrainian Catholic University had an impressive performance at the 2026 European Rover Challenge last month, marking the first time a Ukrainian team has participated in the international competition and shining a spotlight on the skills of Ukraine’s best and brightest students. The Ukrainian team, with the support of Nova Ukraine and other sponsors, reached the finals of the competition, finishing in the top 20 among 124 other teams from across Europe. The event took place Sept. 4-6 in Krakow, Poland. The competition required the teams’ rovers to perform several tasks that simulated a Mars mission. The vehicles navigated across rough terrain, collected samples using a robotic arm, and worked alongside a drone to scout the area. The competition tested the performance of the entire system, including communications, navigation, mechanics, electronics, and autonomous behavior.
