"The European sanctions are ultimate story I think there is a high degree of probability that a decision about on their serious modification will be made by the end of this year," he said.

The message was received in the Kremlin seven months after the tragedy with the Su-24 bomber. After the conversation, Putin instructed the government to enter into negotiations with Turkey to restore cooperation in trade and other areas.
