We invite you to view each essay below.   Sincerely,   Joel Rosenthal, President, Carnegie Council and Editor-in-Chief, Ethics & International Affairs Adam Read-Brown, Editor, Ethics & International Affairs Ukraine: An Ethical Response As we consider the fate of Ukraine and the stability of the world order, what does an ethical response to Putin's war look like?
