Indonesian Agenda Setting & Framing
The Indonesian media like others around the world have extensively the conflict in Ukraine, despite covering the same events the way they represent the stories are different.
CNN Indonesia & Kompas highlights the brutality of the war where the articles are titled "Suspected of helping Russia, Ukrainian billionaire is arrested" and "Electricity in Ukraine out due to rudal attack", this way the viewers are shown that the conflict is hot and messy causing casualties and infrastructure damage. For kompas the articles are titled "Russia accuses the west of escalating the war, the UK denies","Russia needs to sacrifice 20 million more soldiers to beat Ukraine", showing an anti Russian sentiment where they are portrayed as weak/aggresors.
Balipost has not been silent about the Russian attack on Ukraine but refrains from mentioning war crimes or anything of the sort, instead focusing on russian indonesia bilateral relations and G7 warning russia against using nuclear weapons. This might be due to the high number of Russian expatriates in Bali & Bali's dependence on Russian tourists.
