Target: U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
Goal: We call on all parties to ensure that any negotiations result in an immediate ceasefire, robust security guarantees for Ukraine, and uphold the principle of Ukrainian self-determination.
The world is watching as high-level talks on the war in Ukraine are set to take place in Anchorage, Alaska. The ongoing conflict has caused immense suffering, displacement, and loss of life for millions of Ukrainians. We welcome the call for negotiations and urge all leaders to prioritize the needs and voices of those most affected by the war.
We support Chancellor Merz's insistence that territorial decisions must have the consent of the Ukrainian people, and that any ceasefire must be accompanied by reliable security guarantees. Peace cannot be imposed without justice, nor can it be achieved without the participation and agreement of Ukraine. The international community must hold all parties accountable to these principles.
We demand that the upcoming summit leads to concrete steps toward a sustainable peace, including an immediate halt to hostilities, the withdrawal of foreign troops, and the protection of Ukraine's sovereignty and democratic rights. The people of Ukraine deserve safety, dignity, and the right to determine their own future.
