UCCA Rejects the
Genocidal “peace” Plan for Ukraine
The following is a statement issued by the leaders of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, the key Ukrainian civic organization in the United States, regarding the Trump/Putin peace plan for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America states clearly and without qualification that the conditions presented by the Trump administration, falsely labeled as a peace plan, constitute political coercion intended to force Ukraine into accepting its own destruction.
The twenty-eight points under discussion form a structure designed to dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, nullify its independence, and subject millions of Ukrainians to continued occupation and terror. Each point strengthens russia’s position, weakens Ukraine’s ability to govern and defend itself, and restricts the essential rights of a sovereign state. Their combined effect is the elimination of Ukraine as a free nation.
In every territory under russian occupation, Ukrainian civilians endure filtration, torture, forced disappearance, mass deportation, and the seizure of children. These actions meet the legal definition of genocide. Any plan that requires Ukraine to recognize or accept these crimes demands that Ukraine ratify its own extermination.
These conditions are an ultimatum that treats ongoing genocidal acts as political currency. The twenty-eight points operate as a comprehensive assault on Ukrainian statehood, from imposed restrictions on security structures to external supervision of governance. Their purpose is the erasure of Ukraine as a sovereign entity.
Under this framework, the United States assumes the role of enforcing russian political objectives. It is unthinkable that the United States would accept the position of carrying out the aims of an aggressor responsible for mass atrocity crimes. It is equally unthinkable that the United States would embrace a plan that directly undermines its own national security. Any policy that rewards russian aggression, dismantles a frontline democracy, and destabilizes Europe strengthens hostile actors and weakens the strategic position of the United States. A coerced surrender of Ukraine places American interests, American alliances, and American credibility at risk.
The American people and members of Congress across political lines have repeatedly affirmed their support for democracy, justice, and the right of nations to live free from coercion. They recognize the courage of the Ukrainian people and understand the stakes of this war. Forcing Ukraine to accept the terms of its own genocide is not simply an affront to these values. It is a profound violation of them and a direct attack on the moral and strategic commitments that define the United States.
Ukraine has defended its land, its citizens, and the security of Europe through extraordinary sacrifice. It cannot and will not accept a coerced settlement that rewards aggression, legitimizes occupation, or consigns its people to a future without rights, identity, or safety.
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the representative organization of over 2 million Americans of Ukrainian descent, calls on all branches of the United States government to
reject this coercive and abusive framework in its entirety. Policies that enable or normalize genocide have no place in the public conduct of a democratic nation. Ukraine must receive support toward a just peace that preserves its sovereignty, protects its citizens, and strengthens the security of the transatlantic community.
There can be no negotiation that validates genocide. There can be no settlement that trades human lives for political convenience. Ukraine will not be coerced into disappearing.
