Kremlin reacts to Indonesian peace plan for war in Ukraine
Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing with journalists that Moscow had not received details of the plan for settling the conflict in Ukraine from Indonesia, which was reported by Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto.
"I am not aware of anything detailed being presented through diplomatic channels, so I can't say anything," Peskov said, according to Gazeta.ru.
Indonesia's defence minister on June 3 proposed a peace plan for the war in Ukraine, calling for a demilitarised zone and a United Nations referendum in what he called disputed territory.
Prabowo Subianto called on defence and military officials from around the globe gathered at the Shangri-La Dialogue defence meeting in Singapore to issue a declaration calling for a cessation of hostilities, Reuters reported.
He proposed a multi-point plan including a ceasefire "in place at present positions of both conflicting parties" and establishing a demilitarised zone by withdrawing 15 kilometres (nearly 10 miles) from each party's forward position.
The demilitarised zone should be observed and monitored by a peacekeeping force deployed by the United Nations, he said, adding that a UN referendum should be held "to ascertain objectively the wishes of the majority of the inhabitants of the various disputed areas".
