Ukrainian religious leaders in the United States: We support meaningful dialogue, not as a concession to aggression, but as a necessary step toward securing a just peace
"As representatives of the Ukrainian American community, we reaffirm our unwavering support for continued and meaningful dialogue between the governments of the United States and Ukraine, working together toward the goal of a just and lasting peace for Ukraine," the Appeal reads.
According to religious leaders, true peace can only be achieved through principles of justice, mutual respect, and a sincere commitment to diplomacy. In times of heightened tensions, it is imperative that leaders remain steadfast in their dedication to serious negotiations and constructive engagement.
"We support meaningful dialogue, not as a concession to aggression, but as a necessary step toward securing a peace that is just, sustainable, and based on the principles of international law.
Strong American leadership is essential for ensuring global peace and security. May wisdom, courage, and faith guide those entrusted with this crucial mission, and may peace — grounded in truth — prevail.
God bless America, and God bless Ukraine," the document reads.
On February 28, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump had a dispute during talks at the White House. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, this is more than a relationship between two presidents, as the people of Ukraine and the United States have strong ties and relations.
In an interview with Fox News that aired on Friday, the Ukrainian president noted that during the meeting at the White House, he responded to incorrect facts about the Russian war, the number of deaths, and the reasons for Ukrainians' hatred of Putin, which eventually led to disputes with the American side.
Volodymyr Zelensky expressed confidence that his relationship with US President Donald Trump could be salvaged.
