Asked about the visit, Hollande told TF1 television he would "probably" receive Putin, Reuters reports.

"I'm still asking myself the question," he said.

"Can we do anything that will make him stop what he is in the process of committing with the Syrian regime, which is supporting the bombing of Aleppo's population by its air forces?" Hollande said.
