JAKARTA - The daughter of the 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur, Yenny Wahid, has denied accusations made to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) that the peace mission to Ukraine and Russia was declared a failure.

Russia is known to continue to increase its attacks on Ukraine in the midst of the meeting between Jokowi and Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin Palace, Moscow.

"President @jokowi's mission to visit Ukraine-Russia cannot be interpreted as a failure just because Putin continues to attack Ukraine," wrote Yenny, @yennywahid, quoted Monday, July 4th.

According to Yenny, Jokowi wants to achieve many other goals besides ending armed conflict by visiting Ukraine and Russia directly. No less important, he said, is securing the food and energy supply chain.

"Indonesia is one of the biggest importers of wheat flour because our people like to eat instant noodles," said Yenny.

In the midst of the chaos of Ukraine's agricultural and trade system due to the war with Russia, Yenny said Jokowi's arrival was also to secure the stagnant supply of wheat for many countries in the world.

As a result of the stagnation of imports from Ukraine, it can have an impact on the soaring price of wheat commodities which are still in demand in Indonesia.

Yenny said Jokowi did not want wheat shortages to occur in Indonesia, especially the people, such as the case of skyrocketing cooking oil prices.

"So President @jokowi is fighting for the supply of wheat from Ukraine to the free market, including to Indonesia, so that there is no increase in food prices such as the case of cooking oil," he said.

This includes, he continued, the supply of fertilizers from Russia and Ukraine. The scarcity of fertilizers can have a bad impact on the fate of farmers in Indonesia.

"Not many people can be accepted by both parties, so we must be proud that our President was able to make such a breakthrough," he said.
