French President Francois Hollande hits out at Russia’s role in the ongoing siege of Aleppo, saying that Moscow had broken a promise to aid trapped civilians.

“Russia is making commitments that it is not keeping. There’s a moment where you have to answer with action,” Hollande tells reporters as he arrived for an EU summit overshadowed by events in the besieged city where Syrian and Russian forces are forcing out rebels.
