RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Ukraine be placed under a form of temporary administration to allow for new elections and the signature of key accords to reach a settlement in the war, Russian news agencies reported early on Friday. Putin 's comments, during a visit to the northern port of Murmansk, come amid US attempts to forge a settlement to the conflict by reestablishing links with Russia and engaging with both Moscow and Kyiv, in separate talks.
A White House National Security Council spokesman, asked about Putin's remarks on temporary administration, said governance in Ukraine was determined by its constitution and the people of the country. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Notion of illegitimacy Zelenskyy has rejected any notion questioning his legitimacy, saying Ukraine is barred by law from holding elections under martial law and holding a poll in wartime conditions would in any case prove impossible.
