Indonesian president to urge dialogue on Ukraine, Russia visits

INDONESIA, 27 June 2022, (TON): Indonesian President Joko Widodo said “he will urge his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts to open room for dialogue, as he departed for a peace-building mission to the warring countries.”

Four months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, the conflict has disrupted global supply chains and stoked an energy crisis after Moscow a major oil and gas producer was slapped with international sanctions, leading to rising inflation in many countries.

Widodo, who is also chairing Indonesia’s G20 presidency this year, will be the first Asian leader to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin since the war started in late February.

Widodo said before leaving for Germany to attend the G7 Summit “the mission is to invite the Ukrainian president to open room for dialogue in the interest of peace.”
