The Government of Ghana has declared its support for a new peace proposal put forward by U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
The proposal is aimed at ending the protracted conflict between Russia and Ukraine, reaffirming the country’s commitment to global stability and constructive diplomacy.
In a statement issued in Accra, the Government throught the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said it “welcomes President Donald J. Trump’s proposed peace framework” and emphasised that Ghana remained guided by its long-standing principles of international cooperation and peaceful resolution of disputes.
The statement noted that any initiative that prioritised dialogue, mutual respect and an immediate cessation of hostilities merits “serious consideration” from the international community, especially one that seeks to protect civilians, uphold territorial integrity and create conditions for long-term reconciliation.
Since the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine conflict in February 2022, Ghana has consistently called for diplomatic solutions, stressing that the humanitarian impact and global economic disruptions require concerted international action.
The nation’s stance has been shaped by its own long history of peacekeeping across the world.
The Government said Ghana’s readiness to support efforts that contribute to global peace stems from this tradition, adding that the country stands prepared to assist ongoing or future mediation initiatives that may arise from the proposed framework.
“We encourage all parties to engage in negotiations in good faith and prioritise the welfare of their people above political differences,” the statement said, reiterating Ghana’s belief that sustained dialogue remained the most viable path to ending the war.
The Government reaffirmed that its objective was to see “peace, security and prosperity prevail in every part of the world,” urging renewed commitment from both parties to end the conflict.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict, now in its fourth year, has resulted in thousands of deaths, widespread destruction and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
It has also contributed to global food and energy insecurity, affecting many African countries, including Ghana, which has faced inflationary pressures linked to supply disruptions.
