Floodwaters Devastate Dozens of Towns in Ukraine

Floodwaters Devastate Dozens of Towns in Ukraine
Donate

On June 6, parts of the Kherson region in Southern Ukraine were devastated by floodwaters from the Kakhovka dam, and the region is now facing a “monumental humanitarian, economic, and ecological catastrophe.”

Families, including children and the elderly, sought refuge on rooftops, watching their lives being swept away. The scale of this crisis is immense and one of the most significant challenges Ukraine has faced during the 15-month invasion by Russia.

To ensure an effective response, Nova Ukraine joined forces with the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco (for media and information support) and the Emergency Services of Ukraine for local coordination in Kherson.

A Nova Ukraine team and several of our partner teams reached Kherson the next day, June 7, 2023. Thanks to your generous donations:

Nova Ukraine funded critical aid and evacuations of Kherson residents, people and their animals (donate to help animals).

We also funded, purchased, and delivered essential supplies and equipment, such as water pumps and pipes, to address the devastating damages caused by extreme flooding.

Help us to continue supporting first responders near Kherson!

The region still lacks basic resources like clean water, food, and medicine! The situation is changing as flooding starts to recede, exposing devastation previously hidden from our eyes. Fungal growth and the risk of infectious diseases are rising, whereas urban cleanup and building repairs will be starting soon, despite artillery shelling by the occupiers from across the Dnieper.

Please support our efforts by donating and sharing this fundraiser!

Solar panels installed to power a water tower, helping provide water to four villages in Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region during power outages. Russia continues to target critical infrastructure across Ukraine. On October 29, a Russian drone struck a crowded railway platform in Dnipro, killing at least 14 people and injuring others. Ukraine's railways are the country's circulatory system: connecting communities, carrying families to safety, and keeping essential supplies and humanitarian aid flowing. They keep the country moving, even as Russia's attacks threaten these vital connections. On November 4, Ukraine marks Railway Workers' Day. To Ukraine's iron people, Ambassador Erin E.

How Yale Training Is Helping Ukrainian Doctors Treat War-Related Trauma

One year after training at Yale, Ukrainian physicians are applying new approaches to mental health and pain care and sharing their knowledge with colleagues at home. How do you treat insomnia when sedating medication may not be the best option, because ongoing air raids require a person to be able to wake quickly and get to safety? Dr. Olena Nikolenko, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist at Ukrainian Mental Clinic, working with anxiety and depressive disorders, PTSD, OCD, addictions, and chronic pain, says that sleep became a particularly important area in the context of the war. Considering the specific challenges presented by recurrent threats, she wanted to expand her knowledge of non-pharmacological approaches to sleep management and learn additional ways of supporting patients living under prolonged and unpredictable stress. Her interest brought her to the observership at Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital, organized by Doctors United for Ukraine in partnership with Nova Ukraine and supported by Yale’s World Partnership Fund. In October 2025, Nova Ukraine sponsored two Ukrainian physicians, Dr. Olena Nikolenko and Dr. Maksym Tkachuk, selected to participate in a four-week program, IMPACT-UA (Improving Pain Management and Mental Health Treatment in Conflict Territories: Ukraine).
