Sоurce: "Just Wаr Theоry аnd The Russiа-Ukraine War." Jeff McMahan There is nо 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.) QUESTION: 1. According to this author, what were Russia's motives for invading and attacking Ukraine? Your answer must be in your own words. Your answer must be a minimum of 50 words.
