Russians Escaping Putin’s war on Ukraine Find a new Home — and a Moral Dilemma
An estimated 700,000 Russians have fled to neighboring countries because they don’t agree with the war in Ukraine and don’t want to be forced into military service against the Ukrainian people.
"What is the ethical framework around citizen responsibility in wartime?" said David DeCrosse, a professor of ethics at Santa Clara University. "You may get drafted. But should you go if you don't believe in the war? Maybe citizens in wartime have no other responsibility other than to do what the state asks them to do? Maybe there is an obligation to be part of the opposition to a profoundly unjust war?"
