Together with the All-Party Group for Compassionate Politics we hosted a fascinating discussion on Ukraine and the psychology and emotion of conflict. 

We joined by experts in the field Prof Paul Gilbert (Compassionate Mind Foundation and University of Derby) and Dr Claire Yorke (Centre for War Studies, University of Southern Denmark). Paul and Claire looked at:

• What can psychology teach us about how best to approach and de-escalate conflict?
• How do individuals like Putin rise to power?
• How do we, in the future, create a more peaceful world?
