Target: President Donald Trump, U.S. Congress, and U.S. State Department
Goal: Urge President Trump and U.S. officials to provide strong, binding security guarantees to Ukraine and to work collaboratively with European allies in supporting Ukraine's defense and sovereignty.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused untold suffering, displacement, and loss of life. As President Zelenskyy and European leaders convene in Washington, the United States has a historic opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to peace, democracy, and international law by providing robust security guarantees to Ukraine.
Excluding Ukraine from previous high-level talks with Russia undermines the principles of self-determination and collective security. Now is the time for the U.S. to stand with its European allies and ensure that Ukraine is not left vulnerable to further aggression. We urge President Trump and U.S. officials to take decisive action in support of Ukraine's sovereignty and the broader cause of peace in Europe.
