JAKARTA - Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Central Executive (PP) Haedar Nasir emphasized that the war between Russia and Ukraine is not a religious issue so that Muslims do not need to be influenced by provocations and propaganda from both parties seeking international political support. "Haedar said in a written statement, Friday, March 4. Therefore, said Haedar, the community and Muslims should maintain harmony and unity by not spreading information that has no clear source and cannot be accounted for. PP Muhammadiyah, according to him, is very concerned with the wars between Russia and Ukraine which not only caused damage to public facilities, but also lost lives, both dead and injured. "Most of the victims are civilians. War is not a solution to solve problems," said Haedar. He urged both parties to be able to carry out a truce and In addition, he also urged the United Nations, especially the Security Council, to take steps to end war because it will cause complex problems, whether economic, political, humanitarian, global peace, and other problems.

PP Muhammadiyah, said Haedar, gave his appreciation to the Indonesian government for making calls for the fighting to end. "However, the Indonesian government should be more active and proactive in being involved in resolving the wars between Russia and Ukraine, and the various impacts it has," he said. In the era of a new world order that upholds democracy and peace, according to him, relations between countries and nations that are more just and respectful of each other should be built. "Keep away from hegemony in any form because basically all countries and nations on this earth have equality," concluded Haedar Nasir.
