Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Sunday he will urge his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts to open room for dialogue during a peace-building mission to the countries because "war has to stop and global food chains need to be reactivated".

Speaking before leaving for Germany to attend the G7 summit on Monday, he said he will also urge Russia's Vladimir Putin to order an immediate ceasefire.
