Target: US President Donald Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Leaders, and International Negotiators
Goal: To urge President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and all international leaders to prioritize an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, uphold Ukraine's sovereignty, and ensure that any peace agreement is just, lasting, and respects the will of the Ukrainian people.
The recent summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to secure an end to the fighting in Ukraine. Despite calls from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders for an immediate ceasefire, the focus has shifted to negotiating a peace agreement without first stopping the violence. This approach risks allowing further loss of life and territorial gains by Russia while talks continue.
European leaders and President Zelenskyy have made it clear: a ceasefire is essential to protect civilians and prevent further destruction. Any peace process must include robust security guarantees for Ukraine, uphold its sovereignty, and be based on the principles of justice and self-determination. The international community must not allow the Ukrainian people to be used as bargaining chips in negotiations.
We call on President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and all parties involved to listen to the voices of those most affected and act with urgency to end the violence now. The world is watching, and history will judge our response to this crisis.
