Putin Proposes UN-Led Administration in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
Putin Proposes UN-Led Administration in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Ukraine be placed under temporary UN control to facilitate the election of what he described as a more "competent" government. His remarks mark another effort to undermine the legitimacy of Kyiv’s leadership and come as the United States works to broker a ceasefire in the war that has now entered its fourth year. Ukraine swiftly rejected the proposal, accusing Putin of floating "crazy" ideas to stall peace negotiations championed by US President Donald Trump. The White House, responding to Putin’s comments, reaffirmed that Ukraine’s governance would be determined by its constitution and its people. On Tuesday, the US announced that both sides had agreed to a limited ceasefire in the Black Sea. However, Russia subsequently introduced a list of conditions, including the easing of Western sanctions, raising concerns that Moscow was attempting to derail peace efforts rather than engage in meaningful negotiations. Speaking to the crew of a nuclear-powered submarine in Murmansk, Putin elaborated on his idea, stating that a temporary UN-led administration could be discussed "with the United States, with European countries, and of course with our partners and friends." He asserted that such an arrangement would help to "hold democratic elections, to bring to power a capable government trusted by the people and then to begin with it talks on a peace agreement and sign legitimate documents." Moscow has long argued that the Ukrainian government lacks legitimacy, pointing to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s continued rule beyond his term as evidence. However, Zelensky remains in power under martial law, with elections postponed due to the ongoing war. The practical difficulties of organizing a vote are immense, with more than five million Ukrainian citizens displaced abroad and hundreds of thousands actively engaged in frontline combat. Putin’s calls for an election appear to be an attempt to cast doubt on Zelensky’s legitimacy as a negotiating partner. By pushing for a new vote, he may be aiming to divide and distract Ukraine while seeking to make territorial gains on the battlefield. The White House has already acknowledged this as a key aspect of Russia’s strategy. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov later attempted to clarify Putin’s remarks, suggesting they were made in response to what he described as a "loss of control" by Kyiv. He also accused Ukrainian forces of continuing to attack Russian energy installations despite an agreement reached with the US for a moratorium on such strikes. Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, dismissed Putin’s remarks, stating that Russia was merely trying to delay progress towards peace while continuing its military campaign. Meanwhile, a US national security spokesperson reaffirmed to Reuters that "governance in Ukraine is determined by the constitution and the people." At the same gathering in Murmansk, Putin claimed that Russia had maintained the "strategic initiative" along the front lines, adding, "there are reasons to believe that we can finish off" Ukrainian forces. However, despite repeated assertions of progress, Russian territorial advances in eastern Ukraine have been slow and incremental. Putin’s comments follow a recent meeting in Paris between Zelensky and European allies. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France and the UK were working on plans to establish a "reassurance force" in Ukraine, further highlighting the deepening international engagement in the conflict.
