Putin said this at a meeting with the russian Security Council
Putin thanked Trump for the proposal and cynically added that russia "always supports any efforts aimed at strengthening international stability."
The russian leader emphasized that "given the special relations with the Palestinian people, russia could send $1 billion from russian assets frozen under the previous US administration to the "Peace Council."
"By the way, the funds that remain from our assets frozen in the US could be used to restore the territories that were damaged during the fighting, after the conclusion of a peace treaty between russia and Ukraine.
We are also discussing this possibility with representatives of the US administration. I plan to discuss all these issues with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas."
