"It will be appropriate to raise the question of calling a special international conference on Ukraine," Sergei Naryshkin, speaker of the Russian State Duma, or the lower house of parliament, told a security conference.
The Ukraine crisis could be resolved and peace could be restored "only amid international participation," the Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.
The OSCE will open a session of its parliamentary assembly on June 28, when more than 300 parliamentarians from the organization's member states are expected to get together in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku.
Over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his support for a peace settlement plan suggested by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
The plan envisaged a week-long unilateral cease-fire in Ukraine's eastern regions, power decentralization, early elections and the creation of a 10-km buffer zone on the Ukrainian-Russian border.
- Poroshenko's proposal has already been turned down by leaders of the restive Donetsk and Lugansk regions, who accused Kiev of breaking the cease-fire.
