Nova Ukraine Signs Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ukrainian Ministry of Culture to Protect & Promote Cultural Heritage

MOU Signing Ceremony Briefer -Ministry of Culture

GDANSK, Poland–Nova Ukraine today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture to solidify their collaboration to protect and promote Ukrainian cultural heritage.

At the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk, Poland, Nova Ukraine CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee signed the agreement with Tetyana Berezhna, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications.

Ambassador McKee said:

“Ukraine’s cultural memory will survive this war despite Russia’s deliberate, systematic attempt to erase Ukrainian identity.

If you destroy a people’s archives, their film heritage, their museums, and their language, you destroy their claim to a distinct existence as a nation.

This is why Nova Ukraine invests in Ukraine’s greatest asset, its people. We preserve and amplify Ukrainian culture at home and abroad by supporting artists, safeguarding heritage, and strengthening national identity rooted in freedom and democratic values.

What we’re signing today is proof that Ukrainians and their American supporters are fighting back on the cultural front – and will win this war on identity.”

Deputy Prime Minister Berezhna said:

“Culture is one of Ukraine’s greatest strengths. By protecting our heritage, supporting artists, and preserving our memory, we are investing in the future of a free and democratic Ukraine. 

I am grateful to Nova Ukraine for standing with us and helping turn solidarity into long-term partnerships that strengthen our cultural resilience.”

Ohio Becomes Fifth US State to Tackle Russia’s Abduction of Ukrainian Children

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) Nova Ukraine applauds the Ohio State Senate for becoming the fifth U.S. state legislature to introduce a resolution condemning Russia’s forced abduction of Ukrainian children. The bipartisan bill (SCR 21) introduced by State Senators Thomas F. Patton (R-Strongsville) and Kent Smith (D-Euclid) “condemns the Russian Federation for the wrongful and illegal abduction, forcible transfer, and subsequent illegal adoption and indoctrination of children from Ukraine.” Ohio joins Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin to take up this issue. To date, only Wisconsin has held a full vote and adopted the resolution. Nova Ukraine Director of Advocacy Aleksandr Krapivkin says:

When the Pain Becomes a Part of You

“Nova Ukraine's new Vector of Resilience joint pilot project helps Ukraine's veteran support specialists address burnout and secondary traumatic stress.” The program's first residential trainings, launched by Nova Ukraine and its partners, were recently held in Ukraine's Volyn Oblast. Mariia, a support specialist, almost didn't attend. Leaving the veterans and families she supported for three days filled her with guilt she couldn't shake. She worried about how they would manage without her. But when she found herself among psychologists, social workers, healthcare professionals, and community specialists who shared the same responsibilities, something changed.
