A joint meeting was held in the United States on August 22, 2023, to discuss a path to a ceasefire summit conference to end hostilities in the Ukraine–Russia conflict. A tentative meeting is scheduled in the Bahamas in early January 2024.

The meeting was between the Stand-Up America US Foundation, the Legacy National Security Advisory Group (LNSAG-US), Alliance members, and the Global Humanitarian Crisis Prevention and Response UNIT (UK). PIA is a coalition of non-governmental organizations and NGOs taking a neutral position in the conflict. The continuing escalation must stop to prevent further loss of life destruction and avert worldwide catastrophe.

The meeting’s mission was to set forth a plan for Russia and Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire and establish a basis for future negotiations. While the two sides, for now, may still be far apart, the scope for peace rests heavily on a third-party intervention.
