Views on the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine[edit]

In a March 2022 piece for the Salon website, Hedges wrote that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "a criminal war of aggression", but argued the likelihood of
conflict was aggravated by NATO's expansion after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Hedges called NATO's actions a "dangerous and sadly predictable
provocation" that baited Russia to initiate a conflict. Hedges called for an immediate ceasefire and "a moratorium on arms shipments to Ukraine and the
withdrawal of Russian troops from the country."[89] He further added that the invasion was "stoked in part by NATO expansion beyond the borders of a unified
Germany violating promises made to Moscow at the end of the Cold War, now looks set to become a lengthy war of attrition, one funded and backed by an
increasingly bellicose United States."[90] Hedges was critical of the $40 billion aid package for Ukraine in a May 2022 piece in Salon, which he says
demonstrates that the United States is "trapped in the death spiral of unchecked militarism" as the country "rots, morally, politically, economically, and physically"
with no real plans to address the epidemic of mass shootings, decaying infrastructure, lack of universal healthcare, ever rising inequality, student debt, child
poverty and the opioid epidemic.[91]
In his 2022 book The Greatest Evil is War, Hedges writes:
Preemptive war, whether in Iraq or Ukraine, is a war crime. It does not matter if the war is launched on the basis of lies and fabrications, as was the case in Iraq,
or because of the breaking of a series of agreements with Russia, including the promise by Washington not to extend NATO beyond the borders of a unified
Germany, not to deploy thousands of NATO troops in Central and Eastern Europe, and not to meddle in the internal affairs of nations on Russia's border, as well as
the refusal to implement the Minsk peace agreement. The invasion of Ukraine would, I expect, never have happened if these promises had been kept. Russia has
every right to feel threatened, betrayed, and angry. But to understand is not to condone. The invasion of Ukraine, under post-Nuremberg laws, is a criminal war of
aggression.[92]
