Target: President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, US Congress, and the US Department of State
Goal: Ensure US foreign policy toward Ukraine is transparent, democratic, and prioritizes peace, human rights, and international law.
The recent Oval Office confrontation between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed the dangers of transactional diplomacy and the risks of undermining Ukraine's sovereignty. The temporary suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing, coupled with demands for gratitude and the negotiation of mineral rights deals, signals a shift away from principled support for Ukraine's right to self-determination.
We are deeply concerned that these actions embolden authoritarian regimes and jeopardize peace in Europe and beyond. US foreign policy must not be dictated by personal animosities, backroom deals, or the pursuit of economic gain at the expense of democratic values and international law.
We call on the US government to recommit to a transparent, democratic approach to Ukraine and Russia, centered on human rights, peace, and multilateral cooperation with European allies.
