Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has postponed a planned visit to France amid a row over Syria, French presidential sources say.

Mr Putin had been due to come to Paris on 19 October to discuss the crisis in Syria.

On Monday, French President Francois Hollande suggested Russia could face war crimes charges over its bombardment of Syria’s second city, Aleppo.

There has been no confirmation of the postponement from Russia.
