President Joko Widodo's presence in Ukraine is to bring a message of peace to the warring parties, so that they are willing to sit at the negotiating table, according to the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP).

"The president did not come there as a negotiator, but brought a message of peace," said Chief of Presidential Staff General TNI (Ret.) Moeldoko, during the Pro 3 RRI Dialogue with the Presidential Staff Office, Thursday (30/6/2022).

"From there, both parties will be able to go to the negotiating table, so the point is there," he explained.

According to him, the public should be proud of the actions of President Jokowi who came to an area at risk of the Russia-Ukraine conflict to meet with the two heads of state.

"In the midst of an unsafe situation, they came with determination, not recklessness," he stressed.

Moeldoko said the President brought a humanitarian mission to the warring parties.

"Maybe it's not directly about political support, but support from the humanitarian side is more readable there. Because, political support, the President wants to put a neutral position. Meanwhile, support from the side of empathy or humanity is raised there," he added. (RRI)
