REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW YORK -- Russian President Vladimir Putin's new peace proposal for Ukraine is little more than a blueprint for military occupation that is aimed at holding on to territory seized by Moscow-backed rebels, the US envoy to the United Nations said on Wednesday.

"The plan would seek to legitimize territorial gains made by separatists in September as well as Russian personnel and equipment on the territory of Ukraine," US Ambassador Samantha Power told the U.N. Security Council.

"Let us pull the veil away from Putin's peace plan and call it for what it is - a Russian occupation plan," she said during a special meeting of the 15-member body on Ukraine.
