Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Ukraine could be placed under a form of temporary administration to allow for new elections and the signature of key accords with the aim of reaching a settlement, Russian news agencies reported early on Friday.
Putin, in comments made during a visit to the northern port of Murmansk, also said Russia was moving gradually but confidently towards the achievement of its goals in the more than three-year-old conflict in Ukraine.
He said he believed U.S. President Donald Trump, who has moved to improve ties with Moscow and work towards a settlement, sincerely wanted peace in Ukraine.
Putin also said Russia was ready to cooperate with North Korea in working towards a settlement of the conflict.
