Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to establish a temporary international administration in Ukraine under UN supervision is based on historical precedents, according to Kirill Logvinov, who heads the Foreign Ministry's Department of International Organizations. He told TASS on Sunday that the UN already has experience with this process.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is not possible to sign a peace agreement with Kiev because the current Ukrainian leadership lacks legitimacy. Vladimir Zelensky's presidential term expired in May 2024, though he has remained in office without holding elections, citing martial law.
Putin suggested earlier this week that creating "external management or temporary administration" under the UN could facilitate elections in Ukraine and provide a legitimate foundation for negotiations. A peace deal signed with a newly elected leader, he said, "would be recognized around the world" and could not be overturned later.
"There is no formal mechanism for creating such administrations in the UN," Logvinov acknowledged. However, he noted that the UN has established transitional authorities in several post-conflict areas, including Cambodia, East Timor, and Eastern Slavonia, setting a precedent for this type of arrangement.
"In all cases, the first step was reaching an agreement between the parties to the conflict - directly or through intermediaries - on the appropriate transfer of powers to the UN," he explained. Once an agreement is reached, the parties or their mediators would then submit a formal appeal to the UN. The Security Council would instruct the secretary-general to prepare a framework for the temporary administration, including a timeline and budget.
Logvinov stressed that the final decision rests with the UN Security Council following a report by the secretary-general outlining the form and functions of the proposed administration.

Going to the United Arab Emirates is an interesting choice. The British papers not up to your standards this AM?
Putin also warned President Trump that any minerals deal signed by Zelensky and the U.S. would be considered by Russia to be invalid.
Tell your Putin to get with the program. President Trumpโs deadline remains April 20th for Putin to accept his ceasefire deal.
What a silly little message. Only yesterday, Alexander Stubb was misquoted as speaking for President Trump. It's good to know that you are the 'official' spokesman. How's that White House access going?
As to "your Putin," that's one stupid little game you're playing on a forum -- FR -- which depends on donations. I make mine? How's yours doink?
If you REALLY want to get in contact with the Rooksies, I offer the following which a search engine so easily finds:

April 20th draws closer.
"Finnish President Alexander Stubb suggested that April 20 is a 'good time for a complete ceasefire without any conditions' in Ukraine, Yle reported on March 30.That was Kyiv reporting on Stubb's suggestion." 'Finland's proposal is April 20. That would be a good time for a complete ceasefire without any conditions. Why April 20? Because we need a deadline. Because it's Easter. And because (U.S.) President (Donald) Trump will have been in office for three months,' Stubb said."

I know everybody here supports the UN. /s
Sounds like a reasonable plan.
The US already controls the Ukraine military and the Russians will cooperate from their side as well.
Zelenski vacates his office, UN elections are held and a peace is negotiated...the end.
The UN couldn’t successfully run a bake sale.
So Putin, who assassinates and jails his oppenents is “legitmate” and making “illegimate” claims about Ukraine to the U.N.. - ROFWL !!!!
