Presidential Chief of Staff General TNI (Purn) Moeldoko said Indonesia's neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict demonstrated by President Joko Widodo was the hope of many countries.

"Seeing such a situation, the president wants to do something not only for the Indonesian state but for the world," he said in the Pro3 RRI dialogue, Thursday (30/6/2022).

It should be noted that President Jokowi visited Ukraine and Russia to reconcile the two countries that were at war. So far President Jokowi has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"The President also wants to open a dialogue room so that President Zelenskyy has a new view on how the dialogue can be partnered. So it could also be because of the sincere intentions of Pak Jokowi, with all the risks he has taken, maybe President Zelenskyy will finally be open to building a positive dialogue," he said.

According to him, the effort to reconcile Russia-Ukraine is because President Jokowi wants all countries to work together in dealing with the problems at hand.

"What President Jokowi sees at this time is how to bring the world to peace, to bring this world back to normal, like the real problems that are currently being faced by various worlds," explained Moeldoko.

Moreover, continued Moeldoko, the war between Russia and Ukraine has had a very significant economic impact, both internally to both countries and the world economy.

"The impact of this war is that the logistics of the world are disrupted, and it is felt by all parties, things like that are the basis why the President takes and defeats risks, but chooses for the greater interest," he explained.

Moeldoko also asked all Indonesians to support President Jokowi in this peace mission.

"Thank you for your prayers and enthusiasm for our President and let's voice good things related to humanity because the impact of war is terrible for all parties and terrible for the nation as well," he concluded. (RRI)
