Weapons Aid Resumes: Advocacy in Action Across the U.S.

The U.S. resumes weapons shipments to Ukraine. After a brief but tense pause, the U.S. has pledged to send more defensive weapons — including Patriot missiles — to help Ukraine protect civilians from intensifying russian attacks.

This decision was confirmed in a July 7 press release by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell (Statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell on Ukraine Military Aid) and reported by the Associated Press in the article titled Trump administration resumes sending some weapons to Ukraine after Pentagon pause. ”They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard,” President Trump said this week.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy after the meeting with U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg stated: “We thank President Trump, both parties, and all American people for their support and assistance. We sincerely value the friendship between our nations.”

Over the past week, grassroots advocates across dozens of U.S. states stepped up as soon as news broke about the pause in aid.

Nova Ukraine, together with our partner organizations through the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU), helped organize emergency call-a-thons and mobilized thousands to contact their representatives and demand continued aid. With support from leadership, advocacy networks were able to give every U.S.-based supporter of Ukraine a voice.

The advocacy effort was bipartisan — driven by supporters across party lines, united in the belief that Ukraine must be defended. May 2025 polling shows that 62% of Americans believe the U.S. should continue providing weapons to Ukraine and imposing sanctions on russia — including Democrats and a growing number of Republicans.

This is what advocacy looks like: not just a handful of scattered voices — but thousands, rising at once.

Thank you to every group and every person who stood up for Ukraine. Let’s keep pushing forward. Let’s keep standing together.

Stand with Ukraine.

Scout Camps Help Develop the Leaders of Tomorrow

Nova Ukraine helps Ukraine's next generation build confidence and leadership skills through scholarships to Plast Ukraine and Motley Raccoons summer camps. The future of Ukraine will someday be in the hands of its children, who will soon be the leaders tasked with rebuilding their country. Nova Ukraine supports the development of these young members of society in multiple ways, including through several education initiatives such as this year’s Engineering Week, which reached more than 195,000 students in grades K-12. Just as important as developing their minds, however, is nurturing their spirits and ensuring that they enter adulthood with confidence, hope, and a deep appreciation for their homeland. That is where Nova Ukraine’s partnership with the outdoor leadership camps is playing a key role. This past summer, Nova Ukraine provided full-ride scholarships for 180 children to attend Plast Ukraine summer camps, where children ages 2-18 participated in outdoor adventures. They learned practical skills such as first aid, cooking over campfires, and navigating wilderness trails, and many gained experience leading their own squads.

Last-Minute Push for Russia Sanctions Bill

The American Coalition for Ukraine’s (ACU) fall Ukraine Action Summit arrived at a pivotal moment: the final days before the House vote on the Russia sanctions bill.As lawmakers weighed their positions, advocates for Ukraine met with them as constituents, in some cases becoming the last people to make a direct appeal before the vote.Interviews with participants offer a close-up view of those tense hours: lawmakers’ hesitation, advocates’ arguments, and the effort to turn uncertainty into support and a “yes” vote.Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) had spent more than a year pressing Congress to adopt sweeping new sanctions against Russia. Weeks after his death in July, the Senate renamed the legislation in his honor and passed it 86 to 11, an overwhelming bipartisan vote that sent the measure to the House.

Ukrainian Students Excel in Space Robotics Competition

Perhaps those wondering what the future holds for Ukraine should look to outer space. The Space Robotics team from Ukrainian Catholic University had an impressive performance at the 2026 European Rover Challenge last month, marking the first time a Ukrainian team has participated in the international competition and shining a spotlight on the skills of Ukraine’s best and brightest students. The Ukrainian team, with the support of Nova Ukraine and other sponsors, reached the finals of the competition, finishing in the top 20 among 124 other teams from across Europe. The event took place Sept. 4-6 in Krakow, Poland. The competition required the teams’ rovers to perform several tasks that simulated a Mars mission. The vehicles navigated across rough terrain, collected samples using a robotic arm, and worked alongside a drone to scout the area. The competition tested the performance of the entire system, including communications, navigation, mechanics, electronics, and autonomous behavior.
