Vladimir Putin has complained that he has received neither an apology from Turkey nor an offer "to make up for the damages" following the downing of a Russian warplane.

The Russian president also said Turkey has not given any assurances that "the culprits of this crime" will be punished.

Previously warm relations between the two countries have soured after Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24 on a bombing mission near the Syria border on Tuesday.

Russia insisted that its plane never violated the Turkish airspace as Turkey claimed.

Speaking at the Kremlin, Mr Putin said he regretted the fact that relations between Turkey and Russia have been driven into a stalemate.
