Protect Ukraine’s Sovereignty: Demand a Just Peace, Not Capitulation

President Trump’s recent demands that Ukraine surrender Crimea and forgo NATO membership in exchange for peace with Russia threaten to legitimize aggression and undermine the self-determination of the Ukrainian people. These terms, echoed by Vladimir Putin, would reward military invasion and set a dangerous precedent for global security.

President Zelensky has rightfully rejected these ultimatums, insisting that true peace must be lasting, just, and determined by Ukrainians themselves—not imposed under threat. The international community must not force Ukraine to accept a deal that violates its sovereignty or the will of its people.

We call on the U.S. government and allied leaders to support a peace process that:

• Respects Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders, including Crimea and Donbas.
• Upholds Ukraine’s right to determine its own alliances, including NATO membership.
• Centers Ukrainian voices in negotiations and rejects any imposed settlement.
• Holds Russia accountable for its aggression and ensures reparations for the damage inflicted.

Solidarity with Ukraine means standing against coercion, occupation, and the normalization of territorial conquest. Join us in demanding a just and democratic peace for Ukraine.
