From April 6 to April 9, more than 600 advocates from all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico came together in Washington, D.C. for the Ukraine Action Summit, united in their call for continued bipartisan U.S. support for Ukraine.

The first day opened with leadership training and closed with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where advocates gathered to highlight the shared democratic values between the U.S. and Ukraine.

Speakers throughout the Summit included Ambassador Oksana Markarova, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk, Dr. Hanna Hopko, and Rep. Tom Kean Jr. — all underscoring why U.S. support remains essential to Ukraine’s fight for freedom.

The Ukraine Action Summit also featured a screening of the Porcelain War in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and the world premiere of No Sleep Till Kyiv.

Over four days of briefings, advocacy training, networking, and over 440 meetings of members of Congress and their aides with their constituents. The impact of grassroots advocacy was swift: more lawmakers across both chambers added their names to key legislation like H.R. 2548 and S. 1241, which would impose additional sanctions on russia for their continued aggression and support Ukraine’s recovery.

Nova Ukraine was proud to co-organize the Summit alongside United Help Ukraine, Razom for Ukraine, forPeace, Aristotle Foundation, Meest USA, U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, and CiviClick.

Events like this underscore our accomplishments and the power of the people, as our advocacy efforts continue.

Michigan Senate Takes a Stand on Abducted Ukrainian Children

LANSING, MI—The Michigan State Senate yesterday unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution (SR 141) condemning the abduction and forced deportation of Ukrainian children by the Russian Federation. Nova Ukraine, Yoopers for Ukraine, and other community groups played a significant role in passing the resolution. Nova Ukraine applauds Michigan State Senators Chang (D) and McBroom (R) for introducing the resolution, and we look forward to its upcoming introduction in the Michigan House. While a similar resolution has passed at the federal level, Michigan is now the sixth state to act. This initiative signals a growing movement across the United States to recognize and respond to Russia’s war crimes against children. Dr. Igor Markov, Board Director of Nova Ukraine, said:

Game On!

How Pétanque is Helping Ukraine’s Veterans Build a League of Their Own On September 19-20, Lviv’s Stryiskyi Park transformed into a full-blown sports arena, with Ukrainian flags snapping overhead, families and coaches packed along the sidelines, and veteran support groups cheering from the edges of 25 specially built gravel lanes. This was the Grand Final of the 2026 All-Ukrainian Veterans Pétanque League: the year’s fourth and decisive tournament, and by far the biggest. 50 veteran teams, including 165 competitors, from 20 cities across Ukraine, came to compete hard and stand shoulder to shoulder with others who understand exactly what they’ve been through. Organized by our partner NGO Marlog-Caducei, supported by Nova Ukraine, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and the Lviv City Council, the tournament drew record crowds, as the trophy was captured by the Lviv team, Nezlamni, Nasha Gryae. Rough translation: Unbreakable. We Play. It’s easy to smile at that name and move on. But stick around.

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.
