People's Union "Our Ukraine" ("Narodnyi Soyuz Nasha Ukrayina", NSNU) is a centre-right, political party of Ukraine, the continuation of the Viktor Yushchenko Bloc Our Ukraine ("Blok Viktora Yushchenka Nasha Ukrayina") electoral alliance. The NSNU was formally launched on March 5, 2005 by the group of politicians appointed by Yushchenko, but failed to attract most parties that had been members of the Bloc, which refused to be absorbed. So NSNU is actually not the merger of all the former "Our Ukraine" partners.
The constituent congress, held in Kyiv and attended by 6,000 delegates from all oblasts, elected Yushchenko (who received membership card No. 1) as honorary chairman, deputy prime minister Roman Bezsmertnyi as head of the party's Presidium and Yuriy Yekhanurov as head of the party's Central Executive Committee.
At the parliamentary elections on 26 March 2006, the party took part in the new "Our Ukraine" bloc.
NSNU is an observer member of the European People's Party (EPP).In the parliamentary elections on 30 September 2007, the party was part of the Our Ukraine alliance, that won 72 out of 450 seats.
