Critical Infrastructure: Urgent Update and Call to Action

Critical Infrastructure: Urgent Update and Call to Action
Donate

Recent weeks saw a surge in attacks against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, and the March 22 bombardment left over 1.5 million people without power, as continued attacks through the weekend targeted many regions across Ukraine.

These assaults focused on key cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, and particularly Kharkiv. The aftermath is grave: disrupted lives, heightened insecurity, and a pressing need for immediate humanitarian response and infrastructure recovery. This critical escalation continued previous systematic attempts to debilitate Ukraine’s energy facilities, intensifying the hardships for millions.

How We Are Responding

Emergency Response

Our teams, alongside our partners on the ground, are actively delivering aid, focusing on first responders and providing humanitarian assistance.

Restoring Energy: Supporting Life in Critical Conditions

Life-saving initiatives, such as delivering large-capacity generators to hospitals and power generators to communities, ensure that essential services remain uninterrupted, underscoring our dedication to maintaining critical infrastructure.

Points of Invincibility: Warming Centers

Nova Ukraine has created 111 Points of Invincibility in partnership with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznitsya). These warming centers, located in railway stations and other strategic locations, offer warmth, safety, and connectivity to over 1.3 million Ukrainians facing the dire consequences of conflict. Each point serves as a safe space where families can find solace, children can play, and everyone can stay connected with the world.

Looking Ahead: Strategic Infrastructure Support

Our innovative Energy4Ukraine initiative and other alternative energy solutions aim to provide sustainable power sources. A key project involves outfitting schools, which also serve as bomb shelters, with solar panels to ensure uninterrupted power. This approach not only addresses immediate needs, but also lays the groundwork for a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Our Team in Kharkiv: A Story of Resilience

In the midst of a blackout that left Kharkiv without power, water, and nearly cut off from communication, the MedHub team sprung into action. They are the backbone of our medical team, responsible for navigating life-saving shipments. With a generator from Nova Ukraine, they tackled the blackout head-on: checking the warehouse’s electrical setup, searching the city for gasoline amidst closed stations and long lines, and finally, getting everything up and running again. They managed to restore internet connectivity and keep the medical warehouse operational, ensuring requests and shipments went on uninterrupted.

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.
