(MENAFN) German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that United Nations' peacekeepers who were sent to eastern Ukraine should be granted access to the region held by Moscow-backed separatists.
Russian President Vladimir Putin floated the idea of deploying UN troops to eastern Ukraine in a call with Merkel, suggesting that UN mission could protect observers from the international OSE monitoring mission.
Merkel told the FUNKE newspaper group: "I find President Putin"s proposal to send U.N. troops to protect OSCE observers interesting."
