Silence of violence? Pavan Varma, Indian career diplomat

Back in 2007, when relations between Russia and the West were already showing signs of distress but were still manageable, Vladimir Putin remarked that, since the death of Mahatma Gandhi, it’s hard to find somebody to talk to and be understood. What was dismissed as a joke proved to be a prophecy. Some 15 years on, Russia and the West are no longer talking and their security disputes are now playing out as a military confrontation in and over Ukraine. Is a return to non-violence still possible and on what conditions? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Pavan Varma, an Indian career diplomat and former member of the country’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations.
