MOSCOW. March 18 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he is unaware of French President Emmanuel Macron's intention to propose Olympic truce to Russia, but Russia in any case will be guided by its own interests.
"I am not aware of this statement by the French president. We are ready to consider any topic. But in any case we will be guided by Russia's interests and the situation in the combat zone," Putin told journalists, commenting on Macron's statement.
"International officials pervert the very essence of the Olympic movement," he said. "They undermine the foundations of international sports, but this is separate topic," he said.
