TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Embassy in Kyiv has confirmed that 72 Indonesian citizens remain in Ukraine, with all reported to be safe and in good health.
“The total number of Indonesian citizens in Ukraine remains at 72, including 16 embassy staff. Fortunately, everyone is in good condition,” said Monita Purba, Coordinator of the Consular Protocol and Sociocultural Information Function at the Indonesian Embassy in Kyiv, as reported by Antara on Monday, December 2, 2024.
She explained that the majority of these citizens are located in the capital city of Kyiv, western Ukraine (Lviv, Ternopil, and Ivano-Frankivsk), southwest Ukraine (Chernivtsi and Kharkiv), and Odesa (southern Ukraine). Many are married to Ukrainian citizens, work for international organizations or NGOs, or are employed as spa therapists in Odesa.
The Indonesian Embassy in Kyiv continues to monitor the situation closely and provide regular security advisories to Indonesian citizens. In the event of major attacks, Monita said, the embassy communicates directly with citizens through WhatsApp groups.
According to her, despite the ongoing conflict and the "red" travel advisory issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some Indonesian citizens entered Ukraine in 2024.
As of April 2022, the Indonesian government had conducted evacuation operations for 133 Indonesian citizens following Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022.
Recent developments in the war include U.S. President Joe Biden’s approval of long-range missile systems for Ukraine in mid-November, which has prompted threats of retaliation from Russia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed optimism about ending the conflict in 2025.
