Target: President Donald Trump, U.S. Congress, and the Department of State
Goal: Urge U.S. leaders to commit to robust security guarantees for Ukraine and uphold international solidarity against unjust wars.
Ukraine continues to face devastating consequences from Russia's ongoing war, threatening not only its sovereignty but also the stability of Europe and global peace. As President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with President Trump and European leaders in Washington, the world is watching to see if the United States will stand by its commitment to democracy, human rights, and international law.
European leaders from France, Britain, and Germany have pledged their support for Ukraine, recognizing the urgent need for unity. The exclusion of President Zelenskyy from previous high-level talks with Russia underscores the importance of transparent and inclusive diplomacy. Now is the time for the U.S. to demonstrate leadership by offering concrete security guarantees to Ukraine and ensuring that peace negotiations are conducted with respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and the voices of its people.
We call on U.S. leaders to act decisively, support Ukraine, and help secure a just and lasting peace.
