Dharamshala: Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Monday expressed his agony over the Ukraine crisis, and said that problems and disagreements are best resolved through dialogue that is communication.
Dalai Lama’s statement comes amid Ukraine’s defence against Vladimir Putin’s Russian forces for the fifth consecutive day. Kyiv has announced that more than 3,500 Russian soldiers have been killed and over 200 have been taken as prisoners of war. As per the Ukrainian government, 352 people including 1 children have been killed.
In a statement, he said, “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 word. War is outdated – non-violence is the only way.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.”
“Problems and disagreements are best resolved through dialogue. Genuine peace comes about through mutual understanding and respect for each other’s wellbeing,” the Dalai Lama said.
