Goal: Urge U.S. and European leaders to reject any peace settlement that sacrifices Ukrainian sovereignty or cedes territory under duress. Demand robust, enforceable security guarantees for Ukraine, a ceasefire before negotiations, and continued support for Ukr
The war in Ukraine remains the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II, with over a million people killed or wounded. As global leaders gather in Washington to discuss Ukraine's future, we must ensure that any peace process centers the rights and security of the Ukrainian people—not the interests of aggressors.
Recent proposals have pressured Ukraine to cede large swathes of territory and accept a settlement without a prior ceasefire. Such terms would reward military aggression and undermine international law, setting a dangerous precedent for all nations.
We call on U.S. and European leaders to stand firm in their commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty. Negotiations must not force Ukraine to surrender its land or future. Robust, enforceable security guarantees and a ceasefire are essential prerequisites for any sustainable peace. The international community must continue to support Ukraine’s right to self-determination and maintain pressure on Russia through sanctions and diplomatic means.
We demand a fair, just, and lasting peace—one that upholds human rights, international law, and the will of the Ukrainian people.
