The attempt to impose the legitimization of peace agreements on Ukrainians through a referendum is unlawful and unacceptable, contradicts the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, and threatens the national interests of our state.

During the briefing, representatives of civil society, prominent public figures, and experts in Ukrainian constitutional and international law will explain why it is important to:

remove from the agenda the issue of approving a peace treaty through a referendum;

prevent Ukrainian representatives from agreeing to and signing provisions of international agreements that contradict the Constitution and laws of Ukraine;

prevent any attempts to proclaim a referendum in violation of the requirements of the Constitution of Ukraine, as such attempts would be openly unlawful and could have unpredictable and destructive consequences.

The event will take place within the framework of the “United by Truth” project with the support of the Canada Ukraine Foundation.
