Target: President Donald Trump and the U.S. Administration
Goal: Urge President Trump and the U.S. administration to support an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, prioritize humanitarian relief, and ensure that any peace negotiations center the voices and needs of those most affected by the war.
The war in Ukraine has entered its third year, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, mass displacement, and a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. President Trump's decision to rule out a ceasefire in favor of only pursuing a comprehensive peace agreement ignores the urgent need for immediate relief on the ground. Ceasefires, while not a permanent solution, have historically provided critical windows for humanitarian aid, evacuation of civilians, and reduction of violence.
European leaders and humanitarian organizations have called for a ceasefire as a necessary first step to alleviate suffering and save lives. By rejecting this approach, the U.S. risks enabling further escalation and undermining diplomatic efforts led by Ukraine and its allies.
We call on President Trump and his administration to reverse course, support an immediate ceasefire, and ensure that all future negotiations are inclusive, transparent, and centered on human rights and justice for all affected communities.
