Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly suggested to US President Donald Trump that the conflict in Ukraine could be solved with a referendum during their one-on-one meeting on July 16, Bloomberg reported.

Putin mentioned having made the proposal in a closed-door speech on Thursday, but said he would not discuss the plan publicly while Trump took time to consider it, two sources who attended Putin's speech told Bloomberg.

Terrible idea.  After the recent ballot stuffing joke of a Russian election, you want to have them backing a referendum?
