Putin proposed introducing temporary governance in Ukraine under the auspices of the UN

President Vladimir Putin proposed discussing with the United States, European countries, and Russia's "partners and friends" the possibility of introducing temporary international management in Ukraine under the auspices of the UN, TASS reports.

External management would allow elections to be held in Ukraine and "to bring to power a viable government that has the people's trust," Putin believes.

With it, Russia could begin negotiations on a peace treaty and sign documents "that will be recognized throughout the world and will be reliable and stable." Now it is unclear to Russia with whom it should sign anything, since "other leaders will come tomorrow," the president said.

"But this is only one of the options. I am not saying that there are no others. But this is one of the options, and such practice exists in the work of the UN," Putin added.
