Russian president Vladimir Putin has called on Europe to contribute to the reconstruction of Syria to allow millions of refugees to return home.

“By that, I mean above all humanitarian aid to the Syrian people, and help the regions where refugees living abroad can return to.”
There were 1 million refugees in Jordan, the same number in Lebanon, and 3 million in Turkey, Putin said.
Germany has accepted hundreds of thousands of migrants since 2015 – the height of the migration crisis – which has weakened Angela Merkel politically and split the European Union.
“This is potentially a huge burden for Europe,” Putin said.
