Ukrainian forces captured their first Indonesian prisoner of war, Sukamto Ayok, who was deceived into joining the Russian army under the guise of a construction job. Ayok, 49, was recruited by a former schoolmate and arrived in Moscow in July 2026, believing he had signed a work contract. Instead, he was enlisted in the Russian military and sent to fight in Zaporizhzhia. After a drone attack, he wandered for days before surrendering to Ukrainian forces. Concerns in Indonesia about the recruitment of its citizens by Russia have grown, prompting Jakarta to request Moscow to halt such practices. The Ukrainian project "I Want to Live" aims to facilitate the surrender of Russian and foreign soldiers.
