Indo-Pacific diplomacy and the war on Ukraine

In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Tanvi Madan and Ben Herscovitch join Rory Medcalf in conversation to look at what impact the war on Ukraine might have on diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific.

How should India’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine be interpreted? What has China learned from Russia’s strategic miscalculations? And how will the war shift the diplomatic landscape in the Indo-Pacific? In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Tanvi Madan, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Ben Herscovitch, Research Fellow at ANU National Security College, join Professor Rory Medcalf to analyse the impact Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have on diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific.

This discussion was recorded on Tuesday 29 March, before the reports emerged of atrocities committed by Russian troops in Bucha, Ukraine.
