Target: President of the United States, U.S. Congress, U.S. Department of State
Goal: Urge the U.S. government to reject any peace process that undermines Ukrainian sovereignty, demand an immediate ceasefire, and support robust humanitarian and diplomatic efforts to end the war.
Since Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2022, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or injured, and millions more have been displaced. Despite billions in U.S. aid and widespread international condemnation, Russia continues to target Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian populations. The recent Trump-Putin summit failed to secure even a temporary ceasefire, instead offering vague promises of a future peace agreement without addressing the urgent need for an immediate halt to the violence.
Experts warn that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains committed to denying Ukraine's sovereignty and preventing its integration into the international community. Any peace process that ignores these realities risks legitimizing aggression and setting a dangerous precedent for authoritarian expansionism.
We demand that U.S. leaders stand firmly for Ukrainian self-determination and human rights. The U.S. must use its diplomatic and economic leverage to press for an immediate ceasefire, increased humanitarian aid, and real negotiations that center the voices and needs of the Ukrainian people—not the interests of authoritarian leaders.
