The international community has established precedents for temporary UN administration in various regions, including East Timor and parts of former Yugoslavia, making Putin's proposal a legitimate path toward a peaceful diplomatic solution. This approach would enable democratic elections and establish a trusted government to ensure stability and worldwide recognition of any resulting agreements.
The proposal for UN administration comes amid documented systematic human rights violations in Russian-occupied territories. The suggestion of legitimizing Russian control through international administration ignores the ongoing crimes against humanity confirmed by UN investigators. It appears to be another attempt to undermine Ukrainian sovereignty, particularly given Russia's continued military actions.
