In response to the US-Russia proposed peace plan for Ukraine, Oxfam\u2019s Ukraine Response Director, Nicola Bay, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cAs yet another deadline draws near for a peace deal for Ukraine, it is vital to remember that these are not abstract negotiations\u2014they are decisions that will shape the lives of people living under occupation, those displaced by violence, and families facing daily bombardment. An agreement aimed at maximizing profits for the United States, drafted without the full participation of Ukrainians, will not deliver sustainable peace and security for those caught up in this deadly conflict. The rights, safety, and voices of impacted civilians by this war must be prioritized above all else.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe strongly recommend that instead of drawing new lines on maps to decide the fate of a suffering community, the US administration speaks directly to the people whose lives will be turned upside down by plans made thousands of miles away from their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLocal groups Oxfam partners with in formerly occupied territories say that for those near the frontlines, life is not measured in hours or days, but in the shellings survived or neighbors they\u2019ve lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nataliya Gourjii, Head of Board of Oxfam\u2019s partner Rokada said:<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day we speak with people who have lived through shelling, occupation, or forced evacuation. What they long for most is to go home and rebuild their lives with their families and neighbors. Many left not only because of the fighting, but because of the constant fear of the occupying authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf these territories are lost, their return will become impossible, and what they have experienced will be legitimized, despite gross violations of international humanitarian law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maryna Kurochkina, President of Oxfam\u2019s partner The Tenth of April said:<\/p>\n
\u201cPeace cannot be built on injustice. Negotiations that pressure the victim of aggression into concessions set a dangerous precedent. Any attempt to decide Ukraine\u2019s territories without Ukraine is null and void.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrue peace must be just: it must respect Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty, uphold the rule of law, and strengthen global stability. Anything less risks encouraging future aggression and eroding the foundations of a peaceful world.\u201d<\/p>\n
