Target: President Donald Trump, U.S. Congress, and European Union leaders
Goal: Ensure that any peace agreement regarding Ukraine is transparent, respects Ukrainian sovereignty, and is not imposed by outside powers without full Ukrainian participation and consent.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused immense suffering and loss of life. Recent reports indicate that President Trump is pursuing a peace agreement with Russian President Putin, followed by talks with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. However, the lack of transparency and direct Ukrainian involvement in these negotiations is deeply troubling. Diplomatic sources have expressed concern that the United States and Russia may attempt to force a deal on Ukraine, potentially undermining its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and right to self-determination.
History has shown that peace agreements imposed without the full participation of those most affected rarely lead to lasting justice or stability. The Ukrainian people must be at the center of any negotiations about their future. We call on President Trump, Congress, and European leaders to ensure that any peace process is open, democratic, and respects Ukraine's internationally recognized borders and aspirations, including its right to join alliances of its choosing.
We urge all parties to reject any agreement that legitimizes territorial conquest or rewards aggression, and to support a peace process that is accountable to the people of Ukraine.
