Putin defends Russia's air strikes

Russia wants to "create conditions for a political compromise" in Syria, he told Russian state TV.
On Monday the EU's foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, called Russia's role "a game-changer". She said: "It has some very worrying elements."
EU ministers are discussing Syria now.

Going into the Luxembourg meeting, several foreign ministers stressed that air strikes should only target so-called Islamic State (IS) fighters and other Islamist "terrorists".
The US and UK governments have accused Russia of attacking mainly "moderate" anti-Assad groups, rather than the jihadists.
Mr Putin denied that that was the case.
