Understanding public opinion on Indonesia's foreign policy toward the Russia-Ukraine war

---

Public opinion plays an increasingly important role in shaping Indonesia's foreign policy, particularly in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war and Indonesia's position as a middle-power democracy. While Indonesian public opinion tends to lean toward anti-Western sentiment and sympathy for Russia and President Vladimir Putin, the government's official voting stance at the UN General Assembly instead emphasized respect for Ukraine's sovereignty, reflecting a "pragmatic equidistant" foreign policy aimed at maximizing national interests without aligning with any particular power bloc. To safeguard the legitimacy of the democratic process in foreign policymaking, this paper proposes three mutually exclusive policy options for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA): maintaining the status quo, partnering with domestic public opinion research institutions, or building an in-house research mechanism. It recommends the second option, proposing the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Indonesia as an initial partner, alongside future collaboration with institutions such as Saiful Mujani Research & Consulting (SMRC) and Charta Politika to ensure research objectivity.
