Sources also said that administration officials also discussed the possibility of the US appealing to the UN to do the same.
Such an appeal would align the Trump administration's position with that of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long considered Crimea to be his country's territory. The administration's openness to these options has not been previously reported, as Trump prepares for a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to discuss a potential 30-day ceasefire
It is noted that Trump has not formally made any decisions, and possible steps regarding Crimea are just two of the many options offered by his administration, which insists on ending the war.

The press secretary stated about the proximity to a peace agreement and the president's determination to achieve it. Trump intends to discuss ending the war in Ukraine with Putin on March 18.
