I am writing to urge you to oppose the Trump administration’s current 28-point peace proposal for Ukraine and any effort to coerce Kyiv into accepting it by Thanksgiving. Congress should not allow the United States to pressure an ally under attack into signing away its sovereignty in order to keep receiving weapons and intelligence support. Locking in Russian control over occupied regions, shrinking Ukraine’s military, and blocking NATO enlargement would not bring lasting peace. It would create a weaker, permanently vulnerable Ukraine on NATO’s border, embolden the Kremlin, and fracture the united front that has deterred wider war in Europe. I ask you to publicly oppose this specific U.S.-brokered proposal, to insist that no appropriations, authorizations or arms decisions be used to coerce Ukraine into ceding territory, and to push for any future framework that is grounded in Ukraine’s sovereignty, international law and consultation with our European allies. Please use your platform in Congress to demand transparency around these negotiations and to affirm that peace in Ukraine must be just, not simply quick.
