Russian president Vladimir Putin says downing of Russian jet over Syria is a stab in the back. "Shooting down of Russian jet will have "serious consequences" for Moscow's relations with Turkey," Putin says.


Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin considers it incorrect to talk about any consequences for Russian-Turkish relations after the incident with Russia's Sukhoi Su-24 warplane. "It would be wrong now to give any assessments, assumptions or make any conclusions before we get a full picture," Peskov said in reply to a question about the prospects of relations between Moscow and Ankara.


"We have to be patient, it is a very serious incident, but again, without all of the information it is impossible to say anything and it would be wrong," he said.


The Kremlin has no idea if Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to Turkey, due on Wednesday, November 25 will be canceled.
