MOSCOW, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Russia's prime minister on Thursday called for wide-ranging economic sanctions against Turkey that could halt some $30 million in trade between the two countries after the downing of a Russian fighter jet over Syria.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told a meeting of cabinet ministers the downing of the Su-24 aircraft was "an act of aggression" that warrants retaliatory economic measures. The sanctions are expected to be drafted in the coming two days.
