MOSCOW, Sept. 11 - Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Monday said he supported widening the terms for a proposed UN force to protect observers monitoring the conflict in eastern Ukraine, but his proposal was unlikely to get Kiev’s agreement.
Putin told German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a phone call that he was willing to see the mission operate “not only on the front line after the warring sides and their hardware is pulled back, but also in other areas” where the monitors operate, the Kremlin said.
