Target: President Joe Biden and the U.S. Department of State
Goal: Ensure that any ceasefire or peace agreement regarding the war in Ukraine is negotiated transparently, with direct participation from Ukraine, and upholds the principles of sovereignty and self-determination.
The latest U.S.-Russia summit concluded ahead of schedule as discussions about a potential ceasefire in Ukraine took center stage. However, reports indicate that Ukraine may not have been directly involved in these talks, raising serious concerns about the legitimacy and fairness of any agreement reached without their participation.
History has shown that peace deals made without the voices of those most affected are unsustainable and risk entrenching unjust outcomes. The Ukrainian people have the right to determine their own future, free from external imposition or backroom deals that could freeze current hostilities and undermine their sovereignty.
We call on President Biden and the U.S. government to commit to transparent negotiations, ensure Ukraine's direct involvement, and uphold democratic principles in all discussions concerning the war. The future of Ukraine and European security must not be decided without those most impacted at the table.
