Statement by Nova Ukraine on Ongoing Negotiations Between President Trump, President Zelenskyy, European Leaders, and President Putin

Donate

Nova Ukraine welcomes the increasing diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a just and lasting peace
for Ukraine. We recognize the importance of negotiations at the highest level, including the recent exchanges between President Trump, President Zelenskyy, European leaders, and President Putin. These contacts demonstrate that, more than three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine is standing strong, and the international community understands that a durable peace requires fair and sustainable terms. Remarkably, even President Putin now acknowledges the need for security guarantees for Ukraine.

All sides have moved somewhat closer to a framework for peace, but fundamental disagreements remain. For Ukraine and partners, the principles are clear: respect for Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders, accountability for acts of aggression, ironclad security commitments, and the immediate return of all Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. We note positively First Lady Melania Trump’s advocacy on this crucial humanitarian issue, which gives hope to Ukrainian families still waiting for their children’s return and to the entire country.

On the ground, the reality is undeniable. Both countries suffered heavy, irreversible losses. But Russia’s war effort is stalling. Its economy has suffered irreparable harm and is crumbling under financial and economic sanctions, international isolation, and Ukraine’s kinetic sanctions. Once a leading agricultural power, Russia is now a net importer of food as its grain harvest falters. On the battlefield, Russian forces are sustaining massive casualties while achieving only marginal territorial gains. Ukraine’s defenders, by contrast, remain resolute and determined, they are counterattacking in multiple directions.

Ukraine continues to rely on strong Western support while rapidly increasing domestic defense production. With every passing day, Ukrainians draw strength from centuries-old culture, the unity of its people, and the courage of its armed forces.

“Ukraine’s cause is one of freedom, sovereignty, and survival — and the world knows it,” said Nick Bilogorskiy, Chairman of the Board of Nova Ukraine. “We support Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to peace founded on real security guarantees, the return of our abducted children, and the principles of international law. Ukraine will persevere, and Ukraine will prevail.”

An upcoming meeting between Presidents Zelenskyy and Trump will provide another opportunity to continue high-level talks. It is essential that negotiations continue until a just peace is secured.

Speakers at the Eco Film Festival

From Eco Picnic to Eco Film Festival

With Nova Ukraine’s support for the second year in a row, Ukrainian nonprofit Chysto.De?!—whose name translates as “Clean.Where?!”—is expanding environmental education and creating new opportunities for Ukrainian eco-cinema. At this year’s ECO FILM FESTIVAL, organized by Chysto.De?! on August 15–16 at MC6 Creative Residence in Slavske, visitors watched Ukrainian and international environmental documentaries, attended lectures and public discussions, joined hands-on workshops, and explored a market of sustainable local crafts. Children and teenagers spent the weekend learning the basics of documentary storytelling, filming nature around them, experimenting with stop-motion animation, and presenting their own short films at the closing ceremony. For Nova Ukraine project manager Yevheniya Chuchko, it was the part of the festival that stayed with her most.

The First Step Toward a Ukraine Without Pain

Ten Ukrainian military doctors complete the first pain management course of the Ukraine Without Pain project, supported by Nova Ukraine and hosted at Feofaniya Hospital. When a doctor learns a new way to treat pain, that knowledge can travel far beyond a training room. It can shape the care they provide to patients and the practices they share with colleagues. That is the idea behind the Ukraine Without Pain project: teams teaching teams to strengthen medical care for people affected by the war. With the support of Nova Ukraine and several other partners, the first training course in the project’s “Pain Management for Patients with Combat-Related Injuries” track has been completed at Feofaniya Hospital. This is an important first step in a continuing effort to support Ukrainian medical professionals with practical training and opportunities to learn from one another. Inside the Five-Day Course

Preserving Ukrainian Culture

Nova Ukraine's collaboration with Ukraine's Ministry of Culture helps fund national TysyachoVesna initiative for Ukrainian arts and culture. Nova Ukraine is helping ensure that Ukrainian culture continues to thrive despite the ongoing Russian assault. The organization signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine in June, and their first collaborative effort proved to be an inspiring success. Nova Ukraine contributed funding for TysyachoVesna (translation: “Thousand-Spring”), a large-scale initiative to create and support competitive Ukrainian cultural products in the fields of cinema, music, theater, animation, and visual arts. More than 180 independent experts evaluated 2,634 cultural projects that were applying for funding under the program. Of those applications, 1,227 projects advanced to the final pitching and 546 were recommended for government support, according to Ukranews.com. Nova Ukraine provided funding for the work of the independent experts, who ensure a transparent, professional, and high-quality process for evaluating the cultural projects.
