Open letter to the President of the Republic
A solemn appeal to place humanity at the heart of peace
As negotiations open to end the war in Ukraine, a coalition of human rights organisations – united around the "People First" appeal by 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureates Oleksandra Matviichuk and Oleg Orlov, including Pour l'Ukraine, pour leur liberté et la nôtre ! – is calling upon the French President.
Their demand in this letter dated 15 January 2026: to make the protection of Ukrainian populations a precondition for any peace. 19,546 deported children, 16,000 missing civilians, thousands of tortured prisoners, 3 to 3.3 million people under forced occupation. Faced with these systematic crimes by the Kremlin, the coalition is calling for ICRC access to all captives, the return of children, the release of detainees and the categorical refusal to cede territories.
Because ceding territories is not about drawing lines on a map: it is about abandoning millions of Ukrainians to barbarism.
Our civil society organisation's work
For Ukraine, for their freedom and ours! is a non-partisan organisation of French civil society which aims to support the Ukrainian cause in the face of the Russian war of aggression and to raise awareness of the "new total war" being waged against our values and our democracies.

Our latest press release
The association "For Ukraine, for their freedom and ours!" takes a position on the Iranian uprising because the two struggles are inseparable.
The mullahs' regime directly arms Russian aggression: its Shahed drones kill Ukrainian civilians every day. Tehran is an integral part of the neo-totalitarian Moscow-Tehran-Pyongyang-Beijing axis that threatens our democracies. The freedom of the Iranian people and that of the Ukrainian people face the same enemies.
