Target: President of the United States, European Heads of State, and NATO leadership
Goal: Ensure that the United States and its allies stand firm against any peace deal that pressures Ukraine to cede territory or accept terms favorable to Russia.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has already claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions. As President Zelenskiy and European leaders meet with President Trump in Washington, there is growing concern that the U.S. administration may pressure Ukraine into accepting a peace deal that rewards Russian aggression and undermines Ukrainian sovereignty.
Recent statements and diplomatic maneuvers suggest that Ukraine could be asked to give up control of the Donetsk region or make other unacceptable concessions. Such a deal would set a dangerous precedent, emboldening future acts of aggression and violating the fundamental principle that borders cannot be changed by force.
Ukraine's right to self-determination and territorial integrity must not be compromised. Peace must be just, durable, and uphold international law. We urge all leaders involved in these negotiations to stand with the Ukrainian people and reject any agreement that sacrifices their rights or security.
