Demand a Transparent and Just Peace Process in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused immense suffering, displacement, and loss of life. As President Trump meets with President Putin in Alaska, there is an opportunity to end the violence and pursue a just, lasting peace. However, we are concerned by the emphasis on business interests and the lack of public commitment to human rights and Ukrainian self-determination.

Peace negotiations must not be driven by economic deals or the interests of powerful elites. Any agreement must center the needs and voices of Ukrainian civilians, uphold international law, and ensure accountability for war crimes. We call on all parties to make the process transparent and inclusive, and to reject any settlement that undermines Ukraine's sovereignty or rewards aggression.

We demand that President Trump and all negotiators:

• Prioritize human rights and civilian protection in all discussions
• Ensure Ukrainian civil society and affected communities have a voice in the process
• Reject any agreement that legitimizes territorial conquest or undermines Ukraine's sovereignty
• Commit to transparency and regular public updates on negotiations
• Uphold international law and pursue accountability for war crimes

Peace must be just, not just profitable. Stand with the people of Ukraine and demand a transparent, principled peace process.
