Putin Floats UN-Led Ukraine Plan, Talks Trump’s Greenland Ambitions
Russian President Vladimir Putin made some bold statements on Thursday, suggesting that a United Nations-backed temporary administration could take over Ukraine and hold fresh elections. He also commented on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to annex Greenland, calling it a serious historical move.
Putin’s Ukraine Proposal
Speaking to Russian naval personnel in Murmansk, Putin floated the idea of a temporary administration running Ukraine, backed by the U.N., the U.S., Europe, and other “partners.” He compared it to previous U.N. missions in places like the former Yugoslavia and East Timor.
His argument? A new, internationally recognized government in Ukraine could bring legitimacy to peace talks and sign treaties that would hold up globally. He also suggested that more countries like China, India, Brazil, and South Africa should be involved in negotiating an end to the conflict.
For now, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn’t responded to Putin’s remarks.
Putin on Trump and Ukraine
Putin also weighed in on the ongoing peace talks, saying he believes Trump, now back in office, genuinely wants to end the war in Ukraine. While he didn’t go into detail, he suggested that Trump has multiple reasons for wanting a resolution.
Trump’s Greenland Plans Serious or Just Talk?
During a speech at Russia’s Arctic Forum, Putin brought up Trump’s past interest in buying Greenland, a Danish territory. While many dismissed it as far-fetched at the time, Putin claimed the idea is “deeply rooted in history.” He pointed out that the U.S. had stationed troops in Greenland during World War II to prevent Nazi control, arguing that Washington has been eyeing the territory for over a century.
Putin implied that Trump’s push for Greenland might not just be political theater but could be a real geopolitical move, given the growing competition for control in the Arctic.
As these statements stir global discussions, it remains to be seen how Ukraine, the U.S., and other world powers will respond to Putin’s latest proposals.
