MOSCOW: Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told his Israeli counterpart Avigdor
Lieberman Tuesday that Moscow may consider measures to respond to the downing of a
Russian plane over Syria, as he lay "full" blame on
Israel's air force.
"The full blame for the shot-down Russian plane and death of the crew is on the Israeli side," Shoigu told Lieberman in a phone call, according to a ministry statement, adding that Russia "reserves the right to future response measures."
