JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Indonesia told the United Nations that military action in Ukraine was unacceptable and called for a peaceful solution through dialogue and diplomacy at an emergency session of the UN General Assembly that kicked off on Monday (Feb 28), amid a push to further isolate Russia on the international stage.

Jakarta, as leader of the Group of 20 (G20) economic forum this year, had taken the less popular route when it chose not to recognise Russia as the aggressor in a statement on the hostilities in Ukraine, which President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo later amplified in his call to “stop the war”.
