In response to the 90-day suspension of U.S. foreign aid ordered by President Trump, Nova Ukraine is redirecting $500,000 to bridge financing for critical programs in Ukraine. This emergency action seeks to keep essential services operational, ensuring that those most at risk continue receiving support and preventing irreversible setbacks until funding resumes.

The unexpected pause of foreign assistance may stall key projects, leaving vulnerable populations at risk. By reallocating $500,000 in eligible unrestricted funds, Nova Ukraine aims to stabilize critical services and mitigate the potential setbacks caused by a funding gap. By acting now, Nova Ukraine reaffirms its commitment to protecting at-risk communities and preserving progress made by local NGOs on the ground.

“As many times before, Nova Ukraine is stepping in to provide support when governments are unable to,” said Dr. Igor L. Markov, Board Director at Nova Ukraine. “Our bridge funding for already-running projects in Ukraine vetted by USAID will allow them to not shut their doors but maintain operations until their frozen funding resumes. This will lessen disruption and hardship for vulnerable people who depend on aid and services.”

Details on how to apply will become available shortly on the Nova Ukraine Web site – www.novaukraine.org.

Looking Ahead

Nova Ukraine will continue to collaborate with donors, NGOs, and local stakeholders to adapt its strategy as the situation evolves. We will closely monitor ongoing developments and watch out for additional challenges.

Congress Raises the Cost of Putin’s War in Ukraine

WASHINGTON – Nova Ukraine applauds Congress's bipartisan passage of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act 2026, sweeping sanctions legislation that ratchets up pressure on Moscow to end its illegal war. Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee said: "We're grateful that Congress has finally passed real sanctions with teeth against Putin and the Russian officials waging this war, and we urge the President to sign this legislation into law without delay. Sanctions bite when they cause real economic consequences. These target the Russian defense sector and the foreign suppliers propping it up, and they go after Putin's so-called shadow fleet of tankers that has quietly financed this invasion for years.

When the Lights Go Out, Childhood Shouldn’t Have To

A new solar power system at a high school in Chernihiv Oblast will help keep heat, water, classrooms, and its shelter running through Ukraine’s hardest winters, giving students something children everywhere should be able to count on: school. Last winter, a school in Chernihiv Oblast had more days without power than with it. When the grid went down, the generators on site weren’t strong enough to power the building. Heating failed. The shelter went cold. Students who should have been in class were logging on remotely instead — if they could log on at all. This winter will be different.

(KYIV, Ukraine)--Following Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko’s resignation amid a NABU/SAPO investigation into an alleged scheme involving officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office and fraudulent call centers, Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee issued the following statement: “We welcome this investigation. Accountability and the rule of law are essential to a well-functioning democracy.

And we expect the government to safeguard the independence of anti-corruption institutions.We support a full, independent, and transparent investigation of all individuals implicated. Any credible allegations of wrongdoing involving public officials - including officials within law-enforcement or anti-corruption institutions - should likewise be investigated independently and according to the law.The same rule must apply to everyone: investigate where the evidence leads, protect due process, and let independent courts determine guilt.”
