Abstract: Ethical research in war zones is crucial yet underexplored, especially when analysed as a practice of freedom. Existing scholarship primarily focuses on safety challenges, the implications of researchers' outsider position, and the politicisation of research in war zones. This paper addresses the gap in understanding the emancipatory potential of ethical research, using the case of Ukrainian universities. It employs a statistical analysis of survey data and a thematic analysis of interviews, both conducted with members of the Ukrainian higher education community. This paper demonstrates that ethical research in war contexts not only supports higher education communities but also symbolises resistance against war-induced destruction. This study underscores the importance of developing ethical research practices in war zones, aligning with international standards despite severe domestic challenges. It informs research policies at both institutional and national levels in war zones, and contributes to international policy aimed at supporting higher education communities in these contexts.
