•ICC member states – to enforce ICC arrest warrants.
•The EU – to strengthen support for Ukraine and increase sanctions against Russia.
Peace is only possible through justice!
No justice – no peace!
We, representatives of Ukrainian civil society, condemn the US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia about Ukraine without Ukraine. Such negotiations violate international law, state sovereignty, and the right of the Ukrainian people to determine their own future.
We call on:
•States – not to engage in negotiations without Ukraine.
•Human rights and international organizations – to condemn these talks and demand justice.
