Hollande and Putin agree on an anti-ISIS collaboration
The leaders of France and Russia agreed to increase the exchange of intelligence information and coordinate and intensify air strikes against Daesh to increase efficiency. «Other terrorist groups should not be objective,» stressed president Hollande.

While Hollande is committed to «a future of Syria without Assad, » Putin said the future of Assad «must be in the hands of the Syrian people.»
