Indonesia Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto defended a new peace proposal for Ukraine that would leave Russian occupying forces in place, saying Asian nations know the costs of war as well or better than their European counterparts.
“We in Asia, we’ve had our share of conflict,” Prabowo said at the Shangri-La Dialogue defense forum on Saturday. “Maybe more, more disastrous, more bloody than what’s being experienced in Ukraine.”
