Target: President of the United States, U.S. Congress, and U.S. Department of State
Goal: Urge U.S. leaders to prioritize a genuine ceasefire in Ukraine, hold Russia accountable for its actions, and reject any attempts to trade away Ukrainian sovereignty for business interests.
The Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was billed as a turning point for peace in Ukraine. Instead, it ended with empty gestures, ambiguous statements, and no progress toward ending the violence that has devastated millions of Ukrainian lives. While President Trump described the meeting as 'productive,' there was no ceasefire, no roadmap for peace, and no accountability for Russia's invasion and ongoing attacks on civilians.
Instead of pressing for an end to the war, the summit focused on potential business deals and normalization with Russia—while ignoring the suffering of Ukrainians and the urgent need for a just peace. This approach sends a dangerous message: that economic interests and political showmanship matter more than human rights and international law.
We call on U.S. leaders to reject empty diplomacy and demand real, enforceable commitments from Russia. The United States must stand with Ukraine, support a genuine ceasefire, and ensure that any negotiations protect Ukrainian sovereignty and hold aggressors accountable. Business deals cannot come at the expense of justice and peace.
