Ph.D. Candidate Sophia Anastazievsky has published an article in Ethics & International Affairs, titled “What We Owe to Ukrainians: A Moral Perspective on Nuclear Coercion and Military Intervention”.
The piece discusses the moral obligations to intervene militarily in Ukraine to stop Russian human rights abuses and ensure that Ukraine achieves a military victory. Sophia argues that “Ukraine’s war of self-defense against Russia is one of the clearest examples of a nation fighting a just war in recent history. Ukraine is clearly entitled to defend itself, and Russia is clearly obligated to cease hostilities, withdraw troops, and make repair. In light of this, some of the most salient moral questions related to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine involve the international community; namely, what moral duties it has toward Ukraine, especially in light of Russia’s extreme and pervasive human rights abuses.”
