Target: President Donald Trump, U.S. Department of State, and all summit participants
Goal: Ensure that Ukraine is directly represented in all negotiations about its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, and that no deals are made without the consent and participation of the Ukrainian people and government.
As the Trump-Putin summit convenes in Alaska, the world watches with concern. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker has warned that Vladimir Putin may use deceptive tactics to avoid real concessions, while President Trump has indicated that discussions about Ukraine's territory may proceed without Ukraine's direct input.
This approach undermines Ukraine's sovereignty and the international principle that no decisions should be made about a nation without its participation. Excluding President Zelenskyy from these talks is a grave mistake that risks legitimizing aggression and setting a dangerous precedent for international relations.
We call on all parties to respect Ukraine's right to self-determination and to ensure that any negotiations about its future are conducted with its full involvement and consent.
