Target: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, US President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Goal: Ensure that any negotiations on Ukraine’s future uphold international law, protect civilians, and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and the right to self-determination for all people in the region.
The upcoming high-level talks between European leaders, President Zelenskyy, and President Trump represent a critical moment for Ukraine and the broader region. As air strikes continue and civilian casualties mount, it is imperative that these negotiations do not sacrifice human rights or the principle of self-determination for geopolitical interests.
We are deeply concerned by reports that potential peace deals may require Ukraine to withdraw from parts of its own territory, or to abandon its aspirations to join international alliances. Such demands, made under the threat of continued violence, undermine the agency of the Ukrainian people and set a dangerous precedent for international relations.
We call upon all leaders involved in these negotiations to center the voices of those most impacted by the war, uphold international law, and reject any settlement that legitimizes aggression or forced annexation. The path to peace must be rooted in justice, accountability, and the protection of human rights for all.
Key Demands
- Reject any peace agreement that legitimizes the forced annexation of Ukrainian territory or violates Ukraine’s sovereignty.
- Ensure that any settlement upholds the right of self-determination for all people living in affected regions, including meaningful consultation with local communities.
- Prioritize the protection of civilians and immediate humanitarian relief for those impacted by ongoing violence.
- Demand accountability for all war crimes and violations of international law committed during the conflict.
- Guarantee that negotiations are transparent and include representatives from Ukrainian civil society, especially those from frontline and marginalized communities.
- Oppose any deal that requires Ukraine to abandon its right to pursue alliances or partnerships of its choosing.
- Support robust international monitoring to ensure compliance with any agreements reached.
