Nova Ukraine enthusiastically welcomes the official meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald J. Trump at the White House. President Trump’s strong words in support of Ukraine, and his recognition of the determination and courage of the Ukrainian people, send a powerful signal at this critical moment. His remarks underscore what Ukrainians and their allies know to be true: Russia’s war of aggression has not only failed to break Ukraine but has exposed Russia’s weaknesses and isolation. With continued international backing and the decisive role played by the United States along with the European Union and NATO, Ukraine has the capacity to reclaim its sovereign land, protect its people, and secure victory.

We are especially grateful that the horrific issue of abducted Ukrainian children was addressed. Thousands of children have been torn from their families, taken against their will to Russia, and subjected to forced indoctrination. This is not only a violation of international law but a heartbreaking assault on the most innocent victims of this war. The safe return of these children is a moral imperative, and the world must not look away until every child is reunited with their family and homeland.

Today, the path forward requires action. Congress is prepared to move decisively—including advancing new sanctions bills targeting Russia’s war machine and economic lifelines, ensuring the delivery of battle-tested American weapons to Ukraine, and accelerating measures to hold Russian officials accountable for war crimes. The bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill reflects a growing recognition that Ukraine’s victory is not only achievable but essential for global security.

At Nova Ukraine, we know this truth firsthand. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, we have worked tirelessly to deliver humanitarian aid, mobilize communities across the United States, and advocate for stronger U.S. leadership in supporting Ukraine’s defense and recovery. Alongside other Ukrainian American organizations, we have been a consistent voice on Capitol Hill and throughout the country, urging decision-makers to provide Ukraine with the tools it needs to win.

Ukraine’s path to victory is clear—but victory requires the U.S. and its allies to strengthen sanctions, increase aid, and maintain unity of purpose. This is how we will defend democracy and the free world, bring justice to victims of Russian aggression, and ensure that stolen children are brought safely home.

‘Language and Thinking’ Program Prepares Young Ukrainians for Future Leadership

With Nova Ukraine’s support, Bard College leads writing- and discussion-filled workshops on the topic of justice Students from across Ukraine developed critical reading, writing, and civic leadership skills in a new program this summer supported by Nova Ukraine. The tuition-free, residential program, called Language and Thinking Kyiv, was based on Bard College’s Institute for Writing and Thinking approach to learning and was led by students and faculty members from the school. A total of 29 high school students completed the three-week program, which focused on the theme of “justice.” Students read and discussed texts written by Václav Havel, Lesia Ukrainka, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and zeroed in on topics such as freedom, responsibility, and dignity. The students worked in small, immersive workshops and practiced a variety of writing formats, including free writing, loop writing, and process writing—all in English—and then shared and discussed their work with their classmates to examine and refine their own thought processes. One example of their assignments was the use of dialectical notebooks, in which students write down their thoughts about a text they had read together, then pass their notebook to another student to add their perspective.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter
