Target: President of the United States, European Union leadership, United Nations Secretary-General, and national governments supporting Ukraine
Goal: Urge world leaders, especially the United States and European Union, to publicly reject any peace deal that requires Ukraine to cede the Donbas region to Russia, and to reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Ukraine’s future is at stake after Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where he suggested Kyiv should consider ceding the Donbas region to Russia as part of a peace deal. This proposal threatens not only Ukraine’s sovereignty but also the stability of the international order.
The Donbas region is Ukraine’s industrial core and a symbol of national resistance. To trade it away would be to erase the sacrifices made by countless Ukrainians and embolden further aggression. Under Ukrainian law and public opinion, territorial concessions are unacceptable. European leaders have already warned that redrawing borders by force undermines global stability and sets a dangerous precedent for aggressors everywhere.
We call on world leaders to reject any plan that legitimizes conquest and to reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. Ukraine’s sovereignty is not negotiable. We demand that the United States, European Union, and the international community stand united in defending Ukraine’s right to self-determination and territorial integrity.
