Demand Real Peace and Security Guarantees for Ukraine—No Concessions to Russian Aggression

In the wake of the Trump-Putin meeting, the situation in Ukraine has become even more precarious. President Zelensky has made it clear: Russia continues to reject calls for a ceasefire, escalating violence and complicating prospects for peace. Instead of prioritizing an end to the bloodshed, Donald Trump has dropped support for a ceasefire and is reportedly supporting a so-called 'peace deal' that would force Ukraine to cede vast territories—including Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, and parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson—to Russia.

This is unacceptable. International borders must not be changed by force. Any agreement that legitimizes Russia’s illegal occupation undermines global security and sets a dangerous precedent for authoritarian aggression everywhere.

We call on the United States, European leaders, and NATO to stand firm in their support for Ukraine. Ukraine must receive robust, credible security guarantees and the means to defend its sovereignty. Sanctions on Russia and its enablers must not be lifted—instead, they should be expanded to put real pressure on Russia’s war economy.

Only a just and lasting peace, based on Ukraine’s territorial integrity and self-determination, can bring stability to the region. We urge our leaders to reject any deal that sacrifices Ukrainian land or security, and to commit to meaningful action in support of Ukrainian democracy and independence.
