Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested placing Ukraine under temporary UN administration before negotiations on a peace deal can begin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed placing Ukraine under a UN-administered temporary government to pave the way for new elections and the signing of key agreements aimed at reaching a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
The renewed call to remove Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy underscores the Kremlin’s ongoing push to install a more Moscow-aligned regime in Kyiv.
Zelenskyy dismissed the proposal as a stalling tactic, calling it Putin’s latest attempt to delay a genuine peace deal.
Putin said Russia is advancing gradually but confidently toward its objectives in the conflict, now in its fourth year.
He also expressed belief that U.S. President Donald Trump, who has sought to improve relations with Moscow, genuinely wants peace in Ukraine.
Additionally, Putin said Russia is open to cooperating with North Korea in efforts to resolve the conflict.
