Vladimir Putin suggests Questions about Ukraine's UN-led government The validity of Zelenskyy

Vladimir Putin has proposed a plan to place Ukraine under temporary UN-sponsored external governance to facilitate a peaceful settlement.

He suggests this governance, potentially involving the US and European countries, would enable democratic elections and the formation of a viable government for peace treaty negotiations.

Putin questions Volodymyr Zelenskyy's legitimacy to sign any peace deal, while a Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson countered with a suggestion of UN governance in Russia.

Putin's proposal follows a summit discussing potential troop deployment to Ukraine for peacekeeping.
