New Delhi, Feb 28: The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, expressed his sorrow at the Ukraine crisis on Monday, saying that challenges and disagreements are best resolved via discussion.
On Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Nobel Peace Prize winner emphasised that war is obsolete and that nonviolence is the only path forward.
“I have been deeply saddened by the conflict in Ukraine. Our world has become so interdependent that violent conflict between two countries inevitably impacts the rest of the world. War is outdated – non-violence is the only way. We need to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity by considering other human beings as brothers and sisters. This is how we will build a more peaceful world,” he said in a statement.

“Problems and disagreements are best resolved through dialogue. Genuine peace comes about through mutual understanding and respect for each other’s wellbeing,” he added.
“We must not lose hope. The 20th century was a century of war and bloodshed. The 21st century must be a century of dialogue,” he said hoping for peace in Ukraine.
