Indonesian citizens (WNI) in cities bordering Russia with Ukraine, are in good condition. In fact, after months of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Indonesian citizens at the Russian border can still have picnics, when they have free time.

Indonesian student in Russia, Christina Ariel said, based on the confession of colleagues at the Russia-Ukraine border, their condition is fine. "Until the day they (WNI) are fine, they go for a walk, have a picnic, and are still studying offline," he told Pro3 RRI, Saturday (24/9/2022).

The Russo-Ukrainian war has lasted for 212 days. Related to that, Christina said, at the beginning of the war, the space for people living on the Russian-Ukrainian border was limited.

"You can't go out of the house, and so on," he said. "That's only for the first two, three months, but after that activity is as usual."

The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Moscow is preparing a plan to rescue Indonesian citizens in Russia. Even in safe conditions, the Indonesian Embassy continues to monitor Indonesian citizens.

Christina explained that so far, communication between the Indonesian Embassy and Indonesian citizens in Russia has been very good. "Yesterday there was even a visit from the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow," he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on partial mobilization that began on Wednesday this week. Putin said the decree was aimed at "liberating" the Donbass region of Ukraine, and claimed residents of the region.

Partial mobilization is only for Russian citizens who are currently in reserve status, who will be subject to military service. Partial mobilization is also for those who serve in the armed forces, have certain military specialties, as well as relevant experience. (RRI)
