Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested exploring the establishment of an interim administration in Ukraine supervised by the UN and several nations to hold elections.
"In order to hold democratic elections there, in order to bring to power a viable government that enjoys the people's trust. And then begin negotiations with them on a peace treaty, sign legitimate documents that will be recognized throughout the world and will be reliable and stable," Putin said while speaking with the sailors of the Arkhangelsk submarine.
The Russian leader stated that this process would open the way to legitimate negotiations to resolve the Ukraine conflict. The Russian president stated that Trump's efforts to proceed with direct talks with Russia showed that the new president wanted peace.
