PrincipledAmerica.org Public Statement on Ending the Russia-Ukraine War

The war in Ukraine will not end with deadlines, backroom deals, or the empty rhetoric of “strong” personalities. It will end when the aggressor understands that continued violence is no longer an option. Under the doctrine of Principled Power, this conflict demands a solution that is both morally anchored and unflinchingly resolute.

Ukraine’s sovereignty is non-negotiable. The free world must move beyond symbolic gestures and provide Ukraine with the means not just to survive, but to win. This includes advanced weaponry, expanded cyber capabilities, and the removal of artificial restrictions that shield Russian military assets.

Simultaneously, we must escalate economic pressure to a level Russia cannot endure, permanent seizure of Russian sovereign assets, total exclusion from critical markets, and coordinated pressure on its enabling allies. Coupled with offensive information warfare, this strategy exposes the truth to the Russian people: they are bleeding for a lie.

Some will call this posture dangerous. They will warn of escalation, economic turbulence, and diplomatic fallout. These challenges are real, but they pale in comparison to the cost of appeasement, which only emboldens aggression and prolongs human suffering. History has shown that weakness disguised as caution invites more bloodshed, not less.

The path to peace is not paved with concessions; it is forged through decisive strength, unwavering principles, and a willingness to face the hard road when it is the right one. By making the war politically, economically, and militarily unsustainable for Russia, we create conditions for its leadership to face a reckoning, and for Ukraine to secure a future free from tyranny.

This is not about punishing a nation. It is about holding a regime accountable, protecting innocent lives, and reaffirming that international law still matters.

Under Principled Power, we reject half-measures. We act boldly, we stand firmly, and we endure the challenges because doing what is right is rarely easy, but it is always necessary.
