French President Francois Hollande called Thursday for Russia to halt its military action in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"We need to ensure that Bashar al-Assad leaves power and at the moment, helped by the Russians, he is massacring some of his own people, even if he is also taking action against a certain number of terrorists," Hollande said, adding: "I ask that Russia's actions stop."
