MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that his country has always opposed Ukraine's membership of NATO because of national security concerns.
Indonesia understands that the conflict in Ukraine was caused by ambitions of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Hasto Kristiyanto, the secretary-general of the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, told Sputnik.
"For Indonesia, respecting the sovereignty of countries is one of the fundamental principles of foreign policy. That is why we are able to understand the situation with Russia and Ukraine - after all, it is a sovereignty problem caused by NATO's ambitions," Kristiyanto stated.
