Russian President Vladimir Putin says he didn't have a separate meeting with President Donald Trump at events in Paris marking the end of World War I but says they will meet on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Argentina later this month.

Putin said he and Trump decided "not to interrupt the schedule" of the World War I events with a separate meeting.

Putin spoke to RT's France network.

Putin also praised the idea of a European army because he said it could "strengthen the multipolar nature of the world."

Macron has pushed the idea of a European army.
