    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the author's views on the application of just war theory to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He discusses the criteria for initiating and prosecuting a war according to this theory, including principles like last resort, probability of success, and proportionality. He also suggests that a peace settlement that doesn't fully restore all territory to Ukraine could still be justifiable under just war theory if it can defend Ukrainian sovereignty.
