JAKARTA (Sputnik) - On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the country's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that as soon as Ukraine starts withdrawing troops from Donbass and Novorossiya and commits not to join NATO, Russia will cease fire and be ready for negotiations.
A peace process in Ukraine is possible only if all parties to the conflict are represented, Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Rolliansyah Soemirat told Sputnik ahead of the Swiss peace conference coming up this week.
"A peace process can only be initiated when all parties to the conflict are involved," Soemirat said.
Indonesia attaches importance to all efforts toward a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine crisis, including Switzerland's effort, but will be represented at the Swiss-hosted summit on Ukraine only at the level of ambassador, the diplomat continued.
"The Indonesian Government has conveyed that it will task the Indonesian Ambassador in Bern as a special envoy of the Indonesian Foreign Minister," Soemirat said.
