Target: President Donald Trump, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and all participating European leaders
Goal: We call on US and European leaders to ensure that all discussions regarding Ukraine's future are transparent, uphold democratic values, and prioritize human rights and peace.
Recent developments have brought European leaders and Ukraine's President Zelenskyy together with President Trump for a crucial meeting at the White House. This meeting holds significant implications for Ukraine's sovereignty, European security, and the future of international cooperation. We urge all parties to conduct these discussions openly, with full respect for democratic processes, and to center the needs and rights of the Ukrainian people.
Secretive or exclusionary negotiations risk undermining public trust and the legitimacy of any agreements reached. The global community demands accountability, transparency, and a commitment to peace and justice. We stand in solidarity with those advocating for a diplomatic process that is inclusive, fair, and rooted in the principles of democracy and human rights.
