Abstract
This Postscript is a summative reply to the many rich and engaging contributions which support, complement, strengthen, advance, further develop and refine, but also critique and question, and at rare times misread, simplify and distort, central tenets of my lead article in this special issue. To best address the most important themes, I briefly rehearse the aim and relevance of the moral argument, show how it normatively guides political support for Ukraine and address the relation between morality and law. I will then turn to the two normative visions at stake in this war, to assess the analysis and status of Dugin’s Eurasian ideology, to finally take up the claim for principle-based negotiations to achieve a state of ceasefire and, eventually, lasting peace.
