Can pacifism answer the difficult questions raised by the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Isn't it right to supply weapons to someone defending themselves from attack? What about the right of self-defence? Doesn't this case of aggression just prove we need armed forces and nuclear weapons, to be able to defend our homeland from attack – or to deter those who would attack us? A leading British pacifist, Symon Hill, expands on his article in the April-May issue of Peace News, 'Ukraine: a British pacifist responds'.
Symon Hill is campaigns manager for the Peace Pledge Union and a history tutor for the Workers' Educational Association. The Peace Pledge Union (PPU) is a pacifist campaigning network and the British section of War Resisters' International. For more on the PPU's response to the war in Ukraine:
