Goal: Urge all attending leaders to uphold Ukraine’s right to self-determination, ensure robust security guarantees, and prioritize democratic values and civilian protection in all negotiations.
As world leaders gather in Washington to discuss the future of Ukraine, we call on all parties to center the voices and rights of the Ukrainian people. Territorial decisions must be made by Ukraine, not imposed by external powers. The summit must result in concrete actions: strong security guarantees, sustained humanitarian and economic support, and a clear commitment to democratic principles and human rights.
We oppose any deals that undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty or reward aggression. We urge leaders to maintain diplomatic and economic pressure on Russia, and to ensure that peace efforts do not come at the expense of justice or accountability. The world must not turn away from the needs of Ukrainian civilians, refugees, and those most affected by the ongoing conflict.
We demand transparency from all governments involved, and meaningful participation of civil society in peace negotiations. Only through a just, democratic, and inclusive process can lasting peace be achieved in Ukraine and Europe.
