    Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed on Friday to place Ukraine under external governance under the U.N. aegis as part of efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement, a bold statement showcasing the determination of the Kremlin leader to fulfill his war objectives.

    Addressing the crew of a Russian nuclear submarine in televised remarks aired early Friday, Putin restated his assertion that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose term ended last year, does not possess the legitimacy to ratify a peace agreement. Meanwhile, Kyiv argues that holding elections amidst the ongoing conflict is not feasible.

    Putin contended that any pact concluded with the current Ukrainian administration might face opposition from future leaders and suggested the possibility of organizing new elections under external supervision.

    “Under the auspices of the United Nations, with the United States, even with European countries, and, of course, with our partners and friends, we could discuss the possibility of introduction of temporary governance in Ukraine,” Putin said, adding that it would allow the country to “hold democratic elections, to bring to power a viable government that enjoys the trust of the people, and then begin negotiations with them on a peace treaty.”

    He added that such external governance is just “one of the options,” but didn’t elaborate.

    Putin’s remarks came hours after the conclusion of a summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron that considered plans to deploy troops to Ukraine to cement an eventual peace deal. Macron said “several” other nations want to be part of the force alongside France and Britain.

    Russia has warned it wouldn’t accept any troops from NATO members as part of a prospective peacekeeping force.

    Macron and other participants of the Paris summit on Thursday accused Russia of only pretending to want a negotiated settlement.

    “They are playing games and they’re playing for time,” said U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “We can’t let them drag this out while they continue prosecuting their illegal invasion.”

    Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a tentative U.S-brokered deal to pause strikes on energy infrastructure, but quickly accused each other of violations, underscoring the challenges to negotiating a broader peace.

    Russia launched 163 strike and decoy drones at Ukraine late Thursday, according to the Ukrainian air force, which said that 89 of them were downed and 51 more jammed.

    The drones damaged multiple residential buildings and injured a 19-year-old in Zaporizhzhia, regional head Ivan Fedorov said. In Poltava, drones damaged warehouses, administrative building, and a high-voltage transformer, according to regional head Volodymyr Kohut.

    Damage to buildings and infrastructure facilities was also reported by the authorities in the Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Mykolaiv regions.

    While Ukraine has agreed to a full, 30-day ceasefire that Trump has proposed, Putin has made a complete ceasefire conditional on a halt of arms supplies to Kyiv and a suspension of Ukraine’s military mobilization — demands rejected by Ukraine and its Western allies.

    Putin declared in overnight remarks that the Russian military has “gained steam” and is now pushing offensives all along the front line.

    “Our troops, our guys are moving forward and liberate one territory after another,” he said. “Our troops are holding strategic initiative all along the line of contact.”

    He noted that Russia is open to a peaceful settlement, but emphasized the need to “remove root causes that led to the current situation.”

    “We certainly need to ensure Russia’s security for a long historic perspective,” he said.

    Putin has demanded that Kyiv withdraw its forces from the four regions Moscow has seized but doesn’t fully control. He also wants Ukraine to renounce joining NATO, sharply cut its army and legally protect Russian language and culture to keep the country in Moscow’s orbit.

    Russian officials also have said that any prospective peace deal should involve unfreezing Russian assets in the West and lifting other U.S. and European Union sanctions. The Trump administration has said it would consider potential sanctions relief.
