Source: “Just War Theory and The Russia-Ukraine War.” Jeff McMahan According to both traditional and revisionist just war theory, it is permissible for Ukrainian soldiers to engage in violence in the collective defense of all those threatened by Russian aggression. For a war or its continuation to be necessary, it must be the morally best means of achieving just aims, taking into account both the probability of success and the probable bad effects, both intended and unintended. The just aim of the Ukrainians is to avoid subjugation (conquest) by Russia. And it seems clear that when Russian tanks entered Ukraine and sought to encircle Kyiv, there was no alternative at all to armed resistance. It is conceivable that the Ukrainians could ultimately have maintained their political independence by engaging in mass nonviolent resistance, but that would have required years of preparation and training of the civilian population and thus was not an option when the tanks and ground forces arrived.

Source: “Just War Theory and The Russia-Ukraine War.” Jeff McMahan There is no credible understanding of a just war according to which the Russian war against Ukraine is a just war. It is a wholly unprovoked war of aggression intended by those who initiated it – primarily Putin – to conquer Ukraine, annex its territory, and assimilate (absorb) its population. The motives of the war’s planners are various but some stand out as obvious and dominant. One is to expand the Russian empire until it is at least coextensive (equal) with its earlier boundaries under the tsars and the post-revolutionary Soviet dictators. Many of the states that were ruled by Soviet regimes during the Cold War have been adopting more and more elements of Western culture, in particular liberalism and democracy. Ukraine was an economically flourishing democracy that Russia had repeatedly ravaged in the past – a state that would be an example, highly visible to Russians, of an appealing alternative to Putin’s tyrannical “kleptocracy.” ( a government system where leaders abuse power and use state resources for personal waelth, draining public funds for private gain.)
