Putin's surprising plan: Ukraine under UN administration?

In a surprising step, Vladimir Putin proposed to put Ukraine under the administration of the United Nations. He expressed this during a conversation with sailors of a nuclear submarine near Murmansk. Putin emphasized that the goal of this measure is democratic elections to use a government capable of acting that is able to lead peace negotiations. This could be a decisive turning point in the conflict that has been angry for several years. Nevertheless, concerns arise that Russia intends to manipulate these elections and to use a pro-Kremlin-loyal government, as radioenneperuhr.de reports.

The proposal comes at a time when elections are prohibited in Ukraine due to the war. While Putin refers to Ukraine as a failed state and President Wolodymyr Selenskyj accuses of no longer having a mandate, Ukrainian lawyers argue that the extension of powers of attorney is covered by war law. Nevertheless, Selenskyj International is still recognized as President. This shows the complex and fragile political situation in which Ukraine and its leadership are located.

The situation on site

The military situation in Ukraine is tense. Although Russia and Ukraine had agreed on a minimal compromise that was a precaution not to attack the enemy's energy supply, the parties to the conflict do not adhere to this agreement. Selenskyj recently reported a artillery fire to the city of Cherson, in which an energy object was damaged. In return, Russia accuses Ukraine of not complying with the agreement.

In the discussion about a ceasefire in the Black Sea, Selenskyj emphasizes that the Ukrainian Seehandel has reached the pre -war level. Russia, on the other hand, calls for sanctions to facilitate agricultural exports in exchange for an ceasefire. These demands illustrate how closely economic and military aspects are linked in this conflict.

international reactions and security situation

In addition to these developments, Putin has announced the stationing of other soldiers in the Arctic. He underlined the need to expand the garrison cities in the polar zone and expressed concerns about the military activities of the NATO countries in the far north. While he claims that Russia threatens no one, at the same time he makes it clear that he will not allow other countries to endanger Russia's sovereignty.

The role of the United Nations could become important in this context. The UN Security Council has the main responsibility for the protection of world peace and can approved violence in extreme cases. Article 25 of the UN Charter states that all UN members are obliged to accept and carry out the resolutions of the security council. The Secretary General of the UN, António Guterres, has already asked to examine a humanitarian ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, which indicates a possible international intervention. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what role the UN can ultimately play to promote peace and stability in the region.
