Russia is preparing wide-ranging economic sanctions against Turkey over the downing of one of its jets on the Turkey-Syria border.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the measures could include halting joint investment projects.
He said he hoped to get the sanctions drafted within the next two days.
But Turkey’s military said it did not know the warplane it shot down on the Syrian border was Russian, adding that it was ready for “all kinds of cooperation” after Moscow called the incident a “planned provocation”.
Turkey also released what it says are recordings of warnings to the Russian SU-24 aircraft against violating its airspace.
Moscow says the plane was brought down without warning while conducting a bombing raid over Syria on Tuesday.
