The 28-point peace plan circulating between Washington and Moscow did not land well.

Igor Markov, a board member at Nova Ukraine, pointed to measurable results from coordinated diaspora advocacy. “Nova Ukraine’s volunteers have been involved in advancing every Ukraine aid bill passed by Congress since 2022,” he said. “Our coordination with other Ukrainian-American nonprofits helped secure passage of the National Security package in April 2024, including H.R. 8035 and H.R. 8038, which passed with strong bipartisan support—311-112 and 360-58 respectively—within a week of the Fourth Ukraine Action Summit.”

And now there needs to be a different tone, a different character to the stories we tell in order to keep America’s attention on the importance of supporting Ukraine.”

“Our goal is to establish chronic pain treatment in Ukraine,” said Oksana Gologorska, the vice president of Medical Projects at Nova Ukraine. “Supporting our doctors in gaining international experience is absolutely critical.”

The two groups worked with a bipartisan coalition of state legislators to bring the measure forward.
