The Government of Ghana has expressed support for a peace proposal put forward by U.S. President Donald J. Trump aimed at bringing an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
In a statement issued in Accra through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Government said it “welcomes President Donald J. Trump’s proposed peace framework” and reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to global peace, stability and constructive diplomacy.
The statement said any initiative that promotes dialogue, mutual respect and an immediate ceasefire deserves serious attention from the international community, particularly efforts that seek to protect civilians, respect territorial integrity and support long-term reconciliation.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in February 2022, Ghana has consistently called for a diplomatic solution, noting that the war’s humanitarian toll and its impact on the global economy require strong international cooperation.
According to the Government, Ghana’s position reflects its long-standing role in peacekeeping and conflict resolution across the world, which continues to shape its foreign policy outlook.
It added that the country stands ready to support mediation efforts arising from the proposed framework and any other initiatives that promote peace.
“We encourage all parties to engage in negotiations in good faith and prioritise the welfare of their people above political differences,” the statement said, stressing that dialogue remains the most viable path to ending the war.
The Government reiterated that its goal is for “peace, security and prosperity to prevail in every part of the world” and urged both sides in the conflict to renew their commitment to a peaceful resolution.
The Russia–Ukraine conflict, now in its fourth year, has led to widespread destruction, thousands of deaths and a growing humanitarian crisis.
It has also worsened global food and energy challenges, with Ghana and other African countries facing rising prices and supply disruptions linked to the war.
