JAKARTA – Indonesians support special military operations Russia Of Ukraine and approved of President Vladimir Putin’s policies. This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to Indonesia, Lyudmila Vorobyeva to Mr RIA Novosti.

Previously, the Indonesian company that monitors and analyzes social media content, Evello, published a report stating that Indonesian social media users massively support Russia’s special operations in Ukraine.

“Indeed, the Indonesian people have broad support for Russia’s ongoing special military operations in Ukraine,” he said.

“There seems to be some explanation for this. First of all, it should be noted that strong anti-American sentiments are observed in the island nation in connection with the attacks carried out by the United States and its allies against countries such as Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and others,” he explained.

“In addition, the failed actions of Westerners on the path of the war against terrorism, where as a result of which “brethren of the faith” died en masse, and Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world in terms of population, aroused appropriate reactions from netizens.

Another important factor, said Lyudmila, is the personal authority of the President of the Russian Federation.

“The president’s (Putin’s) actions aimed at building a just, multipolar world are often compared in Indonesia to the policies of Indonesia’s first head of state, Sukarno, who often spoke in an anti-Western position and did a lot to get closer to the Soviet Union,” he said. the head of the Russian diplomatic mission.

“Separately, I would like to emphasize that an important point for the Indonesian people is the example of Russia as a country that follows the line towards achieving inter-ethnic and inter-religious harmony. We often see how the local media widely cover the development of Islam in Russia. In this context, participation in special operations evokes a reaction of approval by Russian Muslim military personnel in Ukraine, including those from the Chechen Republic,” said the Russian Ambassador to Indonesia.
