An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Demand for Immediate Action on Trump’s Betrayal of Ukraine
24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
I am writing to demand an immediate and unequivocal response to President Trump’s disgraceful betrayal of Ukraine and his blatant appeasement of Vladimir Putin. His actions are not just weak—they are a direct threat to U.S. national security and our credibility as a nation that stands against tyranny.
Trump’s decision to pause military aid to Ukraine and pressure President Zelenskyy into negotiations on Russia’s terms is nothing less than a gift to Putin. This is appeasement on a level not seen since Neville Chamberlain bowed to Hitler. History has already shown us where this path leads—further aggression, more death, and emboldened dictators. Every moment the United States hesitates, Ukraine suffers, and Russia gains ground.
There is no excuse for inaction. As my representative, I demand that you:
1. Publicly condemn Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine and his willingness to appease Putin. Silence is complicity.
2. Support an immediate reinstatement of military aid to Ukraine, without conditions or delay. Any pause in aid directly strengthens Russia.
3. Push for harsher sanctions on Russia and stronger U.S. commitments to Ukraine. Sanctions are only effective if they are enforced, and military aid must be robust, not symbolic.
Furthermore, I demand that you personally respond to this letter with a clear and unambiguous statement on your position regarding Russia’s war on Ukraine. Where do you stand? Do you support Ukraine’s fight for freedom, or will you stand by as Trump and his enablers sell out our allies?
I expect your response promptly. Your constituents deserve to know where you stand in this fight against authoritarian aggression.
