Target: President Donald Trump, US Department of State, and US Congress
Goal: Ensure that the Alaska summit between the US and Russia is conducted transparently, with meaningful inclusion of Ukrainian representatives and public accountability.
The upcoming summit in Alaska between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is being framed as a pivotal moment for the future of Ukraine. Yet, Ukraine’s own leadership, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, has been excluded from these talks. Decisions about Ukraine must not be made without Ukrainian participation and public oversight. Secretive negotiations risk undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty, emboldening authoritarianism, and setting a dangerous precedent for international diplomacy. We call on US officials to center transparency, democracy, and the voices of those most affected in all discussions about Ukraine’s future.
