Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto (L), accompanied by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung (R), inspects an honor guard as they attend a welcome ceremony for the Indonesian leader prior to their summit talks at the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul, South Korea, 01 April 2026. EPA/YONHAP SOUTH KOREA OUT The Kremlin said earlier this week that there were a huge number of requests for Russian energy from different countries amid a global energy crisis that was shaking the foundations of the oil and gas markets.
Asked about a possible visit to Moscow by Prabowo and whether the Indonesian leader would discuss oil purchases with Putin, Peskov said that contacts between the two leaders were being prepared. Prabowo's spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Around 20% to 25% of Indonesia's crude oil imports are sourced from the Middle East and the government has said it is boosting imports from other places such as Angola and Nigeria to ensure enough supply at home.
On Wednesday, Prabowo said he would be travelling abroad again soon, but declined to reveal his next destination, saying only that the upcoming trip was intended to secure Indonesia’s interests.
