Goal: We call on U.S. leaders to push for an immediate, comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine and to commit to transparent, multilateral diplomatic efforts, centering the needs of civilians and upholding international law.
The recent meeting between President Trump and President Putin, as reported by multiple outlets, was framed as a step toward peace in Ukraine. However, despite claims of progress, no concrete agreement was reached to stop the violence or address the humanitarian catastrophe facing millions of Ukrainians. Instead, the focus remained on displays of military might and the potential for future business deals, contingent on a ceasefire that has yet to materialize.
Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, and billions of dollars have been spent on weapons and military operations. The world cannot afford to wait for negotiations that prioritize economic interests over the urgent need for peace and justice. We demand that the U.S. government use its influence to secure an immediate ceasefire, ensure that diplomatic negotiations are inclusive and transparent, and provide robust humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict.
Now is the time to center diplomacy, human rights, and international law—not military escalation or secretive deals. The people of Ukraine, and the world, deserve nothing less.
