Target: US President, European Union leadership, and international mediators
Goal: To urge the US administration, European leaders, and international mediators to commit to a peace process for Ukraine that is democratic, transparent, and centered on justice and self-determination for the Ukrainian people.
Recent reports indicate renewed diplomatic activity around the war in Ukraine, with high-profile meetings between US, Russian, and Ukrainian leaders. While dialogue is vital, we are deeply concerned that the process risks sidelining the voices of Ukrainians and affected communities, and may prioritize expedient deals over lasting justice and accountability.
Past negotiations have too often excluded civil society, failed to uphold international law, and neglected the rights of those most impacted by the conflict. The Ukrainian people deserve a peace process that respects their sovereignty, addresses war crimes, and ensures long-term security and democratic participation.
We call on all parties involved to commit to a transparent and inclusive peace process, reject any backroom deals, and center the needs and rights of the Ukrainian people above geopolitical interests.
