Russia’s President Vladimir Putin lashed out at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying he “will regret what’s been done”.
Mr. Putin also said that Turkey “will not be let off with just tomatoes” for downing of Russian Su-24, as Sputnic reports.
“If someone thinks they will get away with a heinous war crime — the murder of our people — with tomatoes, or some limitations in the construction sphere and other industries, they are deeply mistaken,” Putin said, referring to Russia’s recent restrictive measures against Turkey which include banning the imports of certain vegetables and fruit.
He also said that Russia “has no intention to and will not engage in sabre rattling.”
“They won’t see a nervous, hysterical reaction which is dangerous to ourselves and the entire world… There will be no such thing. The basis of our actions is, first of all, responsibility before our country and our people,” Putin said.
