Demand Transparency and Ukrainian Representation at the Trump-Putin Alaska Summit

The upcoming Trump-Putin summit in Alaska marks a critical moment for the future of Ukraine and international peace. Vladimir Putin, responsible for the illegal invasion of Ukraine and the deaths of tens of thousands, has been invited to US soil while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been excluded from the main talks. This exclusion not only rewards aggression but risks legitimizing Russia's war crimes and undermining Ukraine's sovereignty.

President Trump’s past remarks and actions raise legitimate fears that he may make unilateral concessions to Putin or pressure Ukraine into accepting an unjust settlement. The American people and the global community demand transparency, accountability, and genuine Ukrainian participation in any negotiations. The future of Ukraine must not be decided behind closed doors or without the consent of its people.

We call on President Trump, the US State Department, and Congressional leaders to ensure that any diplomatic process involving Russia and Ukraine is open, democratic, and centered on the rights and voices of Ukrainians. Peace can only be achieved through justice and respect for international law—not through secret deals or imposed settlements.
