On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, one of its neighbours to the southwest. It marked a major escalation between the countries, which had been in a state of conflict since 2014.

We speak to Dr Shruti Kapila, Associate Professor of Indian History and Global Political Thought from the University of Cambridge about India’s response to the Ukraine crisis, the time taken to evacuate Indian students and being caught between the geopolitical interests of Russia and the US.

Hosted by former diplomat, entrepreneur and civil society player Mark Runacres.
