Nova Ukraine Running Team at Bay to Breakers 2022

Nova Ukraine is joining the Bay to Breakers race  in an effort to support Ukrainians impacted by Russian aggression. All money raised will go towards providing desperately needed humanitarian aid in Ukraine, including critical medical supplies, food deliveries, safe evacuations, and assistance to displaced families with children.

On Sunday, May 15, Nova Ukraine’s team of 15 runners will start in the Embarcadero neighborhood by the San Francisco Bay and run through nine of the city’s neighborhoods. The event starts at Golden Gate Park (47th Avenue and JFK Boulevard) at 7:30 a.m.

Every step of the race will go towards helping thousands of people devastated by the war. These include the needy in dozens of destroyed cities and villages of Ukraine, displaced people throughout the country, and refugees in Ukraine and abroad. “With this run I want to convert our energy into kindness” says Nick Bilogorskiy, co-founder of Nova Ukraine. “Our message is simple: One step equals one dollar for Ukraine. Just imagine: with two dollars our charity can cover a hot meal for a refugee, ten dollars feed a family for a few days. And 70 dollars can save a Ukrainian life via a fully-equipped first aid kit.”

Nova Ukraine is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine, raising awareness about Ukraine, and strengthening Ukraine’s democratic society. “All my thoughts are with my parents and with those who suffer in Ukraine because of the cruel Russian war against our country,” says Oleksandrd Skorokhod, Nova Ukraine’s team leader for the event and Ukrainian trail running vice champion in 2021. “The funds raised by the  Nova Ukraine’s running team will help save lives and improve the lives of those in distress in Ukraine.”

Nova Ukraine Supports Independent Anti-Corruption Investigation, Emphasizes Due Process 

(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. Nobody is above the law.While we support NABU and SAPO, we also advocate for due process, evidence, and independent judicial review. 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.”

Five Kilometers from the Front, One Month Without Power

How Nova Ukraine's Warming Project kept stabilization points running through the winter of 2025–2026 There is a place in eastern Ukraine, roughly five kilometers from the front line, where the electricity has been gone for a month. The wounded keep arriving. The medics keep working. And the lights stay on, because of a generator. Kateryna, who visited the site recently for Nova Ukraine's press office, described what she saw plainly. “Generators aren't just saving the day,” she said. “They're the only thing keeping this location powered so it doesn't lose electricity.” This is the work of the Warming Project.
