McArdle gave an op-ed to Newsweek claiming that Russian forces were not committing a genocide in Ukraine, retorting that Ukrainians are committing war crimes against the Russian population of the Donbas, as well as saying that the United States forced Russia, and Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.[17] McArdle also spoke at the Rage Against the War Machine Rally, co hosted with the People’s Party, where she called on a cut to all aid to Ukraine, and for Ukraine to surrender all Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.[18] After the rally, the Libertarian Party issued a press release stating that "any speaker advocating for the contrary does not align with our values" in reference to speakers that did not support their "anti-war platform," specifically targeting Scott Ritter, the most radical pro-Russian speaker at the event.[19]
