Nova Ukraine, one of the largest US charities providing humanitarian aid to the country, also participated. Its chief executive officer, Ambassador Erin McKee, told RFE/RL that its goal was to highlight urgent winter needs on the ground — ranging from basic humanitarian assistance to amplifying the voices of children, teachers, and doctors living through the conflict every day. Since 2014, the organization says, it has disbursed approximately $150 million in assistance.

The U.S.-based Nova Ukraine NGO is among the groups organizing their own “invincibility points.” “It may sound very basic, but when it is around -18C outside and there is no heating in your apartment, the ability to come somewhere, drink a cup of hot tea and warm up can become — quite literally — a matter of survival,” Olena Drozd, Nova Ukraine’s infrastructure lead, told ABC News.

Chairman and co-founder of the nonprofit Nova Ukraine, Mikola Bilogorskiy, told Newsweek that the probe that led to Yermak’s resignation showed that “Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies are working as intended.”

A medical warehouse belonging to the US-based charity Nova Ukraine has been destroyed in Lviv as a result of a Russian missile and drone attack on 19 November.

Russian combined strikes on Lviv on Thursday night destroyed one of the warehouses with medical aid intended for hundreds of civilian medical facilities, which was collected and transferred to Ukraine by the American charity organization Nova Ukraine.

During this nationwide assault, one of Nova Ukraine’s medical warehouses in Lviv, Western Ukraine, was destroyed. No Nova Ukraine staff were harmed.
