In the video, he addressed President Prabowo Subianto, Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, and Foreign Minister Sugiono, asking for forgiveness and a second chance. “Please forgive me, Sir. I sincerely apologize if my mistake in signing a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense caused me to lose my Indonesian citizenship,” he said, his voice full of remorse.
“I Didn’t Mean to Betray My Country”
Satria explained that he didn’t go to Russia out of disloyalty but simply because he was trying to earn a living. Before heading out, he even said goodbye to his family and asked for his mother's blessing. “I came here just to work. Let Allah be my witness,” he added.
Now that he's experienced the brutal reality of war firsthand, Satria admits he deeply regrets his decision. Losing his Indonesian citizenship has hit him hard. He’s asking for help to get out of his contract with the Russian military and to be allowed back home.
“I don’t want to lose my citizenship,” he said tearfully. “Being Indonesian means everything to me. It’s priceless.”
A Hope to Be Repatriated
Still stationed at the warfront, Satria ended his message with a heartfelt request: that the Indonesian public and netizens help spread his video and his plea especially to the Gerindra Party and President Prabowo.
He hopes someone in power will hear him and help bring him back to Indonesia. It's a story that mixes regret, emotion, and a strong desire to return home. Only time will tell if his plea reaches the right ears.
