SOCHI, November 24. /TASS/. The Kremlin has no official information about the fate of pilots of the Russian Su-24 aircraft shot down today by Turkish Air Force in Syria.
"No official information is available," press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. "Reliable information in this case can only be from the defense ministry," he added.
The Kremlin’s representative added he has no information about an alleged attack against the Russian helicopter in Syria. "I do not know; I am unaware of any statements made by the Defense Ministry in this regard. We look up to the Russian Defense Ministry and urge everyone to look up to them because such an abundance of unnamed sources gives rise to an immense amount of misinformation," Peskov said.
