Russia, Turkey agree aid must reach Aleppo

Russia and Turkey agree aid must reach the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan have agreed on the importance of delivering aid to the Syrian city of Aleppo.

"We have a common position that everything must be done to deliver humanitarian aid to Aleppo. The only issue is ... ensuring the safety of aid delivery," Putin told a briefing on Monday after his talks with Erdogan.

On Saturday, Russia vetoed a French-drafted UN Security Council resolution that would have demanded an end to air strikes and military flights over Aleppo but a rival Russian draft text failed to get a minimum nine votes in favour.
