This article presents arguments about the ethics of sending weapons to Ukraine in support of its war of self-defence against Russian aggression. It does so by situating the debate about the rights and wrongs of supplying arms to Ukraine within the frame of jus ad vim (the just use of force-short-of-war). Concentrating on the German debate, which has been particularly polarized, the article demonstrates how the moral vocabulary of jus ad vim can illuminate the difficult moral choices associated with providing lethal aid to Ukraine. In particular, the article shows how the objective of not getting drawn into war with Russia foregrounds the 'probability of escalation' principle of jus ad vim. In addition, the German chancellor's avoidance of the term 'victory' as the desired outcome of his nation's support for Ukraine points to the concept of a 'moral truncated victory' and the re-establishment and containment principles of jus ad vim. However, while the moral vocabulary of jus ad vim leads to a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges NATO leaders are facing in their provision of weapons to Ukraine, the article concludes that the acceptance of moral truncated victory highlights one of the main critiques of this new framework, namely that it risks creating a morally problematic regime of perpetual force, or vis perpetua.
