JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The evacuation of 13 Indonesian citizens in Ukraine has been hampered by violations of the ceasefire agreement. Kyiv and Moscow accused other parties as the cause of the failure to provide the humanitarian corridor. The Kyiv-Moscow negotiations are also still deadlocked as several major Ukrainian cities are increasingly besieged by Russian troops.
The Indonesian Foreign Ministry’s citizen protection director, Judha Nugraha, said there were still nine Indonesian citizens in Chernihiv, while the other four were in Lviv. “The evacuation is still underway,” he said from Ukraine, Thursday (10/3/2022).
