Indonesia is keeping tabs on the latest developments over the recently announced Russian partial mobilization and hopes that the conflict can reach a solution away from the use of nuclear weapons, the Foreign Ministry says.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah said that Indonesia continued to follow closely the development of the conflict in Ukraine via Indonesian missions in Ukraine and Russia. The government remains watchful regarding to what degree the recent developments had the potential for security escalation in the conflicting region or wider environment.

“We are keeping tabs closely on the developments that occurred, including the recent statement from [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin,” Faizasyah said in a press briefing on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Putin announced a partial mobilization of reservists and warned the West he was not bluffing when he said would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia.

"If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people -- this is not a bluff," Putin said in a televised address.
