Target: US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister, Finnis
Goal: Urge President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and European leaders to reject any peace deal that forces Ukraine to concede territory or undermines its independence.
As discussions intensify in Washington, the prospect of a peace deal that requires Ukraine to cede territory to Russia is being openly considered. Such a deal would legitimize aggression, violate international law, and set a dangerous precedent for the world. The people of Ukraine have endured unimaginable suffering defending their right to self-determination and territorial integrity. Any agreement that includes forced land swaps or ignores the voices and rights of Ukrainians is unacceptable.
We call on all leaders at the Washington summit to stand firm for a just and lasting peace—one that respects Ukraine’s borders, democracy, and the will of its people. Peace cannot be achieved at the expense of justice or by rewarding acts of aggression. The international community must not pressure Ukraine into concessions that would undermine its sovereignty or security.
We demand a transparent, inclusive peace process that centers Ukrainian voices and upholds international law. The world is watching—do not betray Ukraine’s right to freedom and self-determination.
