Citing a lack of trust in Kiev's current leadership, he proposed that it be replaced by a temporary government administered by the United Nations, the United States and European nations. Putin said Moscow will negotiate peace with this new government.

"It would be possible to discuss the possibility of introducing temporary management in Ukraine under the auspices of the U.N., with the United States, even with European countries, of course, with our partners and friends. And for what? In order to hold democratic elections, in order to bring to power a capable and trusted government, and then start negotiations on a peace treaty with them, to start signing legitimate documents that will be recognized all over the world," the Russian President said in Russian and translated to English.

"In such cases, international practice follows a well-known path within the framework of the United Nations peacekeeping activities; several instances have already demonstrated what is referred to as external management or temporary administration", he said.

Putin's trust issues with Kiev may stem from a number of key events.

Soon after agreeing to a temporary ceasefire, which Moscow was then allowed to have a say in the stipulations of before itself agreeing to it, Ukraine broke the agreement by bombing Russian energy infrastructure targets, repeatedly. This ceasefire specifically focused on infrastructure targets, so Kiev's target selection is notable. Russia retaliated against the Ukrainian attacks with their own attacks against similar Ukrainian targets. Despite this, the U.S. still believed a ceasefire within a couple weeks was possible.

While Ukrainian diplomats were meeting with U.S. diplomats in Saudi Arabia for a peace summit on March 11 its military was drone bombing sleeping Russian civilians in terroristic apartment building drone attacks.

Apart from Kiev's military actions, the actions of Ukraine's Dictator Vladimir Zelensky may have also destroyed Moscow's trust in negotiations.
