Putin had been invited to discuss the situation in Syria with French President Francois Hollande.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has cancelled a trip to France amid increasing tension between Russia and the West.
A French presidency source revealed Putin has cancelled the visit, amid accusations Russia has committed war crimes over its bombing of civilian areas in Syria.
The source said: “There were contacts between the Kremlin and the Elysee this morning to offer to Putin a working visit on Syria, but excluding all other events that President Hollande could have taken part in.
“In response to this proposal, Russia has just indicated that it wants to postpone the visit planned on October 19.”
The Kremlin blocked a UN bid to end the bombing of Aleppo on Saturday.
