Target: President Donald Trump, European Heads of State, and the White House
Goal: We call on President Trump, European leaders, and all parties involved to reject any peace agreement that forces Ukraine to cede territory under threat or duress, and to instead support a ceasefire and negotiations that respect Ukraine’s internationally r
The recent shift in US policy away from securing a ceasefire in Ukraine toward a 'permanent peace agreement' has raised alarm among human rights advocates and the international community. Reports indicate that President Trump may pressure President Zelensky to accept a deal requiring Ukraine to withdraw from the Donetsk region of Donbas, legitimizing Russia’s illegal occupation and annexation of Ukrainian land.
Such an agreement would not only undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty but also set a dangerous precedent for international relations, where military aggression is rewarded with territorial gains. European leaders have expressed concern, and Ukraine’s President Zelensky has clearly stated that ceding Donbas is unacceptable and could invite further aggression.
We urge all negotiating parties to prioritize a genuine ceasefire, uphold international law, and ensure that any peace process centers the voices and rights of those most affected—the people of Ukraine. Peace built on justice, not coercion, is the only path to lasting stability in the region.
