Target: President Joe Biden, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Vladimir Putin, European Union Leaders
Goal: We urge the United States, Ukraine, Russia, and European partners to ensure that any security guarantees and peace negotiations are inclusive, uphold human rights, and prioritize the needs of civilians.
The recent announcement by President Zelenskyy welcoming the United States' participation in security guarantees for Ukraine marks a significant moment in the pursuit of peace. However, any security arrangement must be grounded in justice, transparency, and the protection of human rights for all people in the region, including marginalized and vulnerable communities.
We support calls for trilateral talks involving Ukraine, the US, and Russia, but emphasize that these negotiations must include meaningful participation from civil society, women, and grassroots organizations. The voices of those most affected by war—refugees, workers, and minorities—must be heard and respected in the process.
Furthermore, we call for robust international oversight to ensure that security guarantees are not just political gestures, but real commitments to peace, demilitarization, and the long-term well-being of all people in Ukraine and neighboring countries.
We demand that all parties uphold international law, protect civilians, and work towards a just and sustainable peace that addresses the root causes of the conflict.
