Today, the United States and Ukraine signed a landmark agreement to launch the United States–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund — a joint initiative to drive Ukraine’s postwar recovery and attract global investment.

Key elements of the agreement:

  • Equal decision-making between the U.S. and Ukraine
  • Ukrainian sovereignty over land and resources
  • Investment-based funding. Assistance provided before would not be counted as debt
  • Alignment with Ukraine’s European integration path

“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated.

This agreement marks a significant step in Ukraine’s post-war recovery and demonstrates a commitment to a sovereign and prosperous future.​ The signing was preceded by approvals in Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada (parliament), and additional agreements specifying important technical details are expected in the coming months.

Advocacy Works: the Sanctions Bill Gains Support in the Senate

Fifty-eight U.S. Senators have now co-sponsored S.1241, a bill focused on strengthening sanctions against russia, with many adding their support following the Ukraine Action Summit on April 6.

This is a powerful example of what grassroots advocacy can achieve when voices come together. Nova Ukraine is proud to stand alongside our partners and supporters, making sure Ukraine’s needs are heard on Capitol Hill.

Take action: Contact your representatives and senators today to keep encouraging sustained support for Ukraine.

Thank you for staying informed and engaged.

‘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
