JAKARTA - Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives Christina Aryani hopes that Indonesian citizens (WNI) in Russia will follow the instructions and appeals issued by the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow regarding the uprising of the Wagner mercenaries group.

Christina admitted that her party had communicated with the Indonesian Embassy.

He said the situation was still safe so far and residents were still doing normal activities, although there was an increase in security guard.

"But of course the Indonesian Embassy's appeal has taken into account many things for the safety of our Indonesian citizens," said Christina, quoted from Antara, Sunday, June 25.

In a situation like this, said Christina, Indonesian citizens are asked to communicate with the Indonesian Embassy on a regular basis.

In addition, Indonesian citizens also need to obey the rules issued by the local government.

He appreciated the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow for issuing an appeal regarding this situation to maintain the safety of Indonesian citizens.

"Communication is very important to monitor the existing situation and when there is a change there are anticipatory steps earlier. We appreciate that the Indonesian Embassy has already issued an appeal so that the safety of our Indonesian citizens can be guaranteed," said Christina.

For your information, the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow, Saturday, June 24, appealed to Indonesian citizens in Russia to limit travel outside the city amid a security situation due to the insurgency of the Wagner mercenaries group.

The Russian government decided to impose a counter-terrorism policy after the Wagner group was deemed to have betrayed and instigated an armed uprising.

In a statement released via social media on Sunday morning, the Indonesian Embassy appealed to Indonesian citizens to remain calm and not travel to several areas, such as Rostov and Voronezh, until the situation became conducive.

"For Indonesian citizens in the Rostov and Voronezh areas, they must comply with the local government's direction not to leave the house / dormitory / place of residence if there is no urgent situation," according to the statement.
