‘Normal life has disappeared’: Russia’s energy offensive plunges Ukraine into dark and bitter cold

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.

At Davos, Nova Ukraine Keeps Global Focus on Ukraine

As world leaders gathered in Davos this month to discuss security and democracy, Nova Ukraine was there to ensure that Ukrainian reconstruction, energy security, and humanitarian needs were top priorities. “Every year, people ask me why I go to Davos and whether it’s worth the effort,” says Nova Ukraine Co-Founder and Chairman Nick Bilogorskiy. “And every year, I give the same answer: Yes, absolutely. Because Davos isn’t about the panels you attend, but the people you meet and the conversations you weren’t planning to have.” Bilogorskiy says Davos is a rare opportunity where “talent, capital, and influence” converge in one place, and one can have meaningful conversations on Ukraine. Joined by Nova Ukraine Board Director Dr. Igor Markov and COO Vlad Dergunov, Bilogorskiy and his colleagues met dozens of global policymakers to discuss Ukraine’s humanitarian situation, security, long-term reconstruction, and a wide range of issues related to business, government, and civil society. Markov recognizes that the fruits of these conversations aren’t always immediate, but can pay long-term dividends.

Warmth for Ukraine: A Humanitarian Appeal

As the world enters a New Year filled with hope and new beginnings, the reality in Ukraine is growing more desperate. This winter, countless Ukrainian families face unimaginable hardship. Homes stand cold and dark, hospitals struggle to keep their doors open, and children fall asleep wrapped in layers just to stay warm. Despite the bitter cold and the constant threat of attack, the spirit of the Ukrainian people endures — sustained by courage, hope, and the compassion of those who refuse to stand by. Russia is not just exploiting harsh weather conditions; it is deliberately weaponizing winter against Ukrainian civilians through systematic attacks on energy infrastructure that leave millions without heat, light, or water in sub-zero temperatures. These strikes are calculated to break people’s spirit by freezing homes, hospitals, and entire cities into darkness, pushing families to the very edge of survival. ​

Russia Weaponizes Winter: Ukrainian Civilians Face Catastrophic Threat from Systematic Infrastructure Attacks

January 16, 2025 | Palo Alto, CA Three million people in Kyiv are on the edge of survival. Russian strikes have plunged Ukrainian cities fall into darkness as temperatures plummet to minus 4°F—and meteorologists warn the deadly freeze will persist through January. This is not the chaos of war. This is calculated. Russia is systematically weaponizing winter itself. Across Ukraine—from Kyiv to Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih to Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia—families huddle in the cold, cut off from power, heat, and hope. Each day brings fresh strikes. Each night brings a deeper cold.

Wisconsin leads the nation in condemning Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children – Nova Ukraine welcomes a significant precedent

On January 13, 2026, the Wisconsin State Assembly unanimously passed Joint Resolution 103 (AJR 110), which condemns Russia’s illegal abduction and forced transfer of Ukrainian children. The State Senate had already approved the resolution unanimously on November 18, 2025. With approval from both chambers, Wisconsin became the first US state to pass this kind of resolution through its full legislature. Although a similar measure exists at the federal level, this marks the first state level legislative action on the issue. Advocates see this step as an important signal of growing momentum in the United States to recognize and respond to Russia’s documented war crimes against children. The resolution was brought before lawmakers through a partnership between Nova Ukraine, a leading US-based nonprofit supporting Ukraine, and Wisconsin Ukrainians Inc., with support from Friends of Ukraine – Madison. Together, these organizations worked with bipartisan lawmakers to ensure the issue received formal recognition at the state level.

Nova Ukraine Statement Regarding the Turkey Evacuation Program of Ukrainian Children

Nova Ukraine is deeply concerned by the recent media reporting on the treatment of Ukrainian children housed in facilities operated by the Ruslan Shostak Foundation in Turkey. The findings described in these reports raise grave questions about the conditions in which the children lived, the level of oversight inside the facilities, and the practices used by staff responsible for their care. In 2022, Nova Ukraine did provide a grant to this organization during the early emergency phase of the full-scale invasion. At that time, the initiative was presented as a coordinated evacuation effort involving Ukrainian regional authorities responsible for residential institutions, Turkey’s Ministry of Family and Social Services, and local municipal structures in the Antalya region that provided accommodation permissions. Given these representations—and the urgency of removing children from areas under bombardment—Nova Ukraine had no indication of the concerns now being reported. To be clear: the conditions described in the current reporting were not known to us at the time we awarded the grant. Once we became aware of these findings, Nova Ukraine immediately and permanently ended all cooperation with the Shostak Foundation. Nova Ukraine’s grantmaking system is built on transparency and accountability. Every partnership undergoes documented review, internal verification, and cross-checking through our wide network of active partners, subject-matter experts, and collaboration with local authorities and hromadas. By 2023, Nova Ukraine strengthened reporting standards and prerequisites for grantees. Even with these systems in place, this situation shows the need to further strengthen monitoring and independent access for programs involving children.

Керівник Офісу Президента України йде у відставку на тлі антикорупційного розслідування

Сьогодні керівник Офісу Президента Андрій Єрмак подав у відставку на тлі антикорупційного розслідування, яке проводять НАБУ та САП. У Nova Ukraine такий крок вважають доказом того, що створені після Революції Гідності антикорупційні інституції – НАБУ та САП, рішуче працюють навіть у найближчому оточенні президента, відповідно до своєї початкової мети: руйнувати старі корупційні мережі та забезпечити євроінтеграцію України. Зараз Україні, чинному президенту та антикорупційним органам потрібна стійка підтримка союзників – військова допомога, фінансування та політичний захист, але не ультиматуми про територіальні поступки Росії в обмін на крихке перемирʼя. «Україну не можна спонукати до жодних поступок щодо власного суверенітету, бо це суперечить її відданості незалежності та верховенству права; стійка перемога вимагає подолання і російських загарбників, і внутрішньої корупції», – зазначив директор Ради директорів Nova Ukraine доктор Ігор Марков.

President Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Steps Down Following Anti-Corruption Investigation

Today, President Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak has resigned following an anti-corruption investigation by NABU and SAPO. Nova Ukraine hails this development as proof that the country’s post-Maidan anti-corruption institutions — NABU, launched in 2015, and SAPO, its prosecutorial arm — are fearlessly targeting even the president’s inner circle, as designed to break old corrupt networks and secure EU integration. Now more than ever, Ukraine, its sitting president, and its anti-corruption investigators need unwavering allied support, including military aid, funding, and political cover, but not ultimatums to cede land to Russia for a shaky ceasefire. “Ukraine should not be forced to trade its sovereignty just as it shows a strong commitment to independence and rule of law; a lasting victory demands defeating both Russian occupiers and internal graft,” said Nova Ukraine Board Director Dr. Igor Markov.

Ambassador Erin McKee: “This destruction is heartbreaking, but it will not stop Nova Ukraine”

Nova Ukraine CEO visits destroyed medical warehouse in Lviv On November 19, during one of the largest drone and missile attacks in months, Russia destroyed one of Nova Ukraine’s key medical warehouses in Lviv. The facility stored medical humanitarian supplies intended for hospitals, clinics and frontline healthcare teams across Ukraine. No Nova Ukraine staff were harmed. Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin McKee was in Ukraine during the attack. She visited Lviv soon after to see the damage firsthand. “My first feeling was relief that none of our personnel were harmed”, she highlighted, assuring that any other losses are replaceable.

STATEMENT FROM NOVA UKRAINE ON THE 28-POINT PEACE PROPOSAL

The 28-point peace plan circulating between Washington and Moscow did not land well. It has been overwhelmingly rejected across Europe, rated as "will require work" by G20 leaders, panned by U.S. senators and House members of both parties, shredded by Ukrainian-American organizations, and denounced by American foreign policy establishment. The New York Times called it "terrifying," The Wall Street Journal editorial denounced it as “an ultimatum”. Ukraine would be asked to amend their constitution to renounce NATO membership in perpetuity. Ukraine would surrender territory defended so far at tremendous human cost. The military would be cut from roughly 880,000 to 600,000 troops. Not downsized for peace, but shrunk during an ongoing invasion. Ukrainian officials are direct: such a reduction would guarantee future territorial losses, not peace. This opening bid is designed to collapse through successive rounds of "compromise." As the initial package has been rejected, pressure will intensify. New deadlines will come. New proposals will follow, each slightly less onerous, each accompanied by urgent appeals to "be realistic." The temptation will be tremendous to accept terms that seem better than the original proposal, even if they remain unacceptable. The months ahead will test Ukraine again. It is when revised proposals arrive with escalated pressure and narrowing options that the real negotiations begin. That is when it will matter most to remember what the red lines actually are. Nova Ukraine and its leadership remain vigilant and continue US-based advocacy for Ukraine in support of US national interests.

Склад Nova Ukraine знищено внаслідок російської атаки на Львів

19 листопада Росія здійснила одну з найбільших за останні місяці атак дронами та ракетами по всій Україні. Загалом 476 безпілотників та 48 ракет ударили по житлових будинках, енергетичних об’єктах та логістичних центрах. Щонайменше 25 мирних жителів, включно з трьома дітьми, були вбиті та понад 80 поранені. Nova Ukraine висловлює співчуття кожній родині, яка постраждала від сьогоднішнього насильства. Під час цього масованого нападу один із медичних складів Nova Ukraine у Львові був знищений. Жоден співробітник Nova Ukraine не постраждав. "Найголовніше, що наша команда в безпеці, – заявила Посол Ерін Е. МакКі (Ambassador Erin E. McKee), генеральна директорка Nova Ukraine. – Подібні удари спрямовані на руйнування ланцюгів гуманітарного постачання саме на початку зими. Їм це не вдасться". На складі зберігалися медичні засоби, гуманітарні пожертви та ключове медичне обладнання, призначене для підтримки лікарень та клінік по всій Україні. Втрата будь-якої частини цих запасів створює негайні виклики для медичних команд, які й без того працюють під величезним тиском.

Official Statement from Nova Ukraine on Damage to Medical Warehouse in Lviv — November 19, 2025

Early this morning, Russia launched one of the largest drone-and-missile attacks in months across Ukraine — 476 drones and 48 missiles striking residential buildings, energy facilities, and logistics hubs in freezing temperatures. At least 25 civilians, including three children, were killed and more than 80 injured. Our hearts are with every family affected by today’s violence. During this nationwide assault, one of Nova Ukraine’s medical warehouses was damaged. No Nova Ukraine staff were harmed. “We are profoundly grateful that our team is safe,” said Ambassador Erin E. McKee, CEO of Nova Ukraine. “Strikes like this are designed to break humanitarian supply chains just as winter begins. They will not succeed.” The warehouse contained medical supplies and in-kind donations designated to support hospitals and clinics across Ukraine. Losing any portion of this inventory creates immediate challenges for medical teams already working under immense pressure. As Oksana Gologorskaya, VP of Medical Projects, noted, “Our partners count on these supplies every single day. Losing even part of this stock creates immediate gaps for medical teams working under daily missiles. We are already rerouting equipment and preparing replacements so that medical personnel and healthcare facilities do not face interruptions in care.”

Nova Ukraine Welcomes Wisconsin State Senate’s Unanimous Vote on Resolution Addressing Abducted Ukrainian Children

On November 18, the Wisconsin State Senate voted unanimously to pass Joint Resolution 103, with voice vote from the 33 Senators. This marks the first time such a resolution has been introduced at the state level in the United States. While a similar resolution has passed at the federal level, Wisconsin is the first state to take action. The initiative was presented to Wisconsin lawmakers in partnership by Nova Ukraine, a leading U.S.-based nonprofit supporting Ukraine, together with Wisconsin Ukrainians, Inc. and with the support of Friends of Ukraine–Madison. Senator Andre Jacque, one of the authors of the resolution, stressed the urgency of addressing these violations.

Ukrainian Americans Were Divided by Faith and Identity—Until Russia Went to War

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.”

Ukraine Action Summit: Advocacy That Delivers Results

More than 750 delegates from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia gathered in Washington, D.C., on October 25–29, 2025, for the seventh Ukraine Action Summit — the largest gathering of American advocates for Ukraine to date. Organized by the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU), the Summit united community leaders, experts, and volunteers who came together around one goal: to strengthen U.S. support for Ukraine. Nova Ukraine, as one of the founding organizations of the Coalition, played an active role in coordinating advocacy efforts, preparing delegates, and shaping unified messages for Congress. Over five days, delegates held 451 meetings with members of Congress to ensure that Ukraine remains a bipartisan priority in Washington. These meetings were part of a coordinated effort involving hundreds of volunteers across the United States. Each state delegation met with senators and representatives to discuss key legislation and deliver clear, unified messages in support of Ukraine. Four Policy Priorities of the Summit

October 2025 Newsletter

Dear Friend, As Ukraine enters its fourth winter of the full-scale invasion, Russia is intensifying attacks on energy infrastructure, hospitals, and civilian areas — leaving families in the cold and forcing hospitals to operate with backup power. This month’s newsletter shows how your gift transforms into lifesaving treatment in the dark, heat in the cold, and hope under fire. On Ukraine’s front lines, drones now hunt the wounded and the medics who try to reach them. Recent reporting from Kharkiv shows evacuations delayed for days, with soldiers and civilians surviving only if power, supplies, and trained teams are already in place. These are the stakes this winter: support must reach people fast, even under drones and blackouts.

81 Medical Devices Delivered to Support Evacuation and Stabilization Teams

In coordination with our partner Vlasnoruch, 81 pieces of life-saving equipment were delivered between July 1st and September 30th to support evacuation teams and medical stabilization points in Ukraine. This essential equipment included: This latest delivery builds on Nova Ukraine’s ongoing medical initiatives. Earlier this year, we financed the purchase of ~30,000 units of medical aid—including medications and other supplies—for medical stabilization centers, evacuation teams, hospitals, and other critical healthcare facilities. More than 100 pieces of emergency medical equipment were supplied to medical stabilization centers and evacuation teams in Ukraine. Each and every single piece of equipment is vital for efficient emergency care, where time is of the essence—yet resources are often scarce.
