Target: US President, European Union leaders, US Congress, and NATO leadership
Goal: Urge US and European leaders to reject any peace deal that sacrifices Ukrainian sovereignty or legitimizes Russian aggression, and to provide robust security guarantees for Ukraine.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is under intense pressure from US officials to accept a hasty end to the war with Russia—one that could force Ukraine to cede internationally recognized territory and undermine its right to self-determination. Recent talks have prioritized a 'quick deal' over a meaningful ceasefire, ignoring the voices of Ukrainians and the risks of legitimizing aggression.
Any agreement that requires Ukraine to withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk, or to abandon its aspirations for democracy and security alliances, would set a dangerous precedent for international law and human rights. Such a deal would not bring real peace, but rather reward violence and embolden further attacks on sovereign nations.
We call on US and European leaders to stand firm in support of Ukraine's sovereignty, to reject any settlement that imposes unjust conditions, and to provide robust, enforceable security guarantees. The future of Ukraine—and the principles of international justice—depend on it.
