According to various media outlets, President Putin is keen to get a hold on pro-Russian territories of Ukraine.
Putin spoke of the scheme at a closed doors meeting with top diplomats in Moscow on Thursday, the agency reported, citing people who were present at the meeting. US President Donald Trump reportedly urged Putin not to communicate the plan at their joint press conference, as he needed some time to discuss the proposal.
