Target: US Congress, US Department of State, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and former President Donald Trump
Goal: We call on US officials and all parties involved to ensure that any negotiations prioritize peace, transparency, and the sovereignty of Ukraine, and that the voices of Ukrainian people and civil society are central to all discussions.
The upcoming meeting between President Zelenskyy and former President Trump has the potential to impact millions of lives. With reports of private conversations involving the Kremlin and European leaders, it is crucial that the international community demands transparency and accountability in any negotiations regarding Ukraine's future.
We are concerned that backroom deals or opaque diplomacy could undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine, prolong the conflict, and exclude the voices of those most affected. The Ukrainian people deserve a just and lasting peace, not a settlement dictated by powerful interests behind closed doors.
We urge all parties to commit to transparent negotiations, uphold international law, and center the needs and rights of Ukrainian civilians in all discussions. The world must not allow the future of Ukraine to be decided without the meaningful participation of its people and civil society.
