US President Barack Obama has expressed regret over the Sukhoi Su-24 bomber incident at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
"Obama expressed regret in connection with the incident involving the Russian jet downed by the Turkish Air Force in Syria," Peskov said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Barack Obama held a meeting on the sidelines of the Paris climate conference that lasted for around 30 minutes.
The meeting, which was held behind the closed doors, had not been planned or discussed beforehand. The presidents used the opportunity of attending the international conference to speak about topical issues in the bilateral format. The two leaders also discussed the situation in Syria and Ukaine.

Last time, the two leaders met at the G20 summit in Turkey’s Antalya two weeks ago where they had two meetings and one of them lasted for around 20 minutes.
Earlier, the Russian and US presidents had long talks in New York in late September on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly’s anniversary session...
