Target: US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and international diplomatic leaders
Goal: Ensure that Ukraine is directly included in all negotiations about its future, and that any peace agreement respects Ukraine's sovereignty, security, and democratic aspirations.
The upcoming Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin marks a pivotal moment in efforts to end the war in Ukraine. However, the absence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from these talks is alarming. Decisions made without Ukraine's direct participation risk sidelining the voices and interests of those most affected by the conflict.
Ukraine has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire, robust security guarantees, and respect for its territorial integrity. The international community must not allow bilateral deals that bypass Ukraine or compromise its sovereignty. Any negotiations about Ukraine must include Ukraine at the table.
We urge world leaders to uphold the principles of international law and democracy by ensuring Ukraine's full participation in all future peace talks. The people of Ukraine deserve a say in their own future.
