Target: European Council, European Commission, and the governments of France, Germany, UK, Italy, Poland, and Ukraine
Goal: Ensure that EU leaders prioritize democracy, transparency, and the voices of Ukrainian people in all negotiations and public statements regarding the ongoing conflict and peace talks.
The recent meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Putin, followed by a debrief and joint statement preparation among EU leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, marks a critical moment for the future of Europe. Decisions made behind closed doors can have profound impacts on millions of lives. We, as concerned citizens, call for full transparency and democratic oversight in all negotiations and agreements related to Ukraine and the wider region.
European leaders must ensure that the Ukrainian people are at the center of any peace process, and that the principles of self-determination, human rights, and international law are upheld. The voices of civil society, affected communities, and the broader European public must not be sidelined in favor of backroom deals or geopolitical bargaining.
