Russian President Vladimir Putin is reported to have proposed a referendum to US President Donald Trump at the US-Russia summit to resolve the separatist movement in the eastern Donbbad region of eastern Ukraine.

According to foreign ministers like Bloomberg on the 20th, President Putin explained the outcome of the US-Russia summit held in Helsinki, Finland on the 16th, at a meeting of foreign diplomats held at Moscow the day before. In a referendum, Ukrainian residents have suggested that they themselves decide on independence issues in the region.

Some parts of eastern Ukraine, such as Don Barth, are campaigning for the independence of the Ukrainian government after the entry of armed protesters in the Crimean peninsula in 2014.

According to a source, President Trump suggested to President Putin not to comment on this proposal at a joint press conference. Putin also agreed not to publicly share the proposal to give President Trump time to think about it.

Putin introduces the proposal as a way to end the four-year conflict. However, it is unlikely that Ukraine accepts it. The referendum was the way Russia used it when it joined the Crimean peninsula.

Russia merged the Crimean Peninsula, which belonged at that time to Ukraine, to punish Ukraine for its pro-Western line in March 2014. At the time of the merger, Russia held a referendum on residents of Crimea, demanding and owning Russia, and 96.7% of residents supported the award. Since then, Russia has often used the results of the referendum to streamline mergers.

However, Ukraine has defined Russian fusion of cream as a "forced occupation" and demands a constant return of the territory, and Western countries also support the Ukrainian claim.

President Trump pleaded with former US President Barack Obama for his coalescence of cream that the problem of cream rose in the interview on the 14th. However, President Trump suggested that After the annexation of Crimea, Russia will regain its Russian status expelled from the G8.
