Russia has no plans to change existing economic measures against Turkey
The Russian government is not planning to change existing economic measures against Turkey, spokeswoman Natalia Timakova said Friday.
On November 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on economic measures against Ankara in retaliation for Turkey`s downing of a Russian Su-24 bomber over Syria.

The decree, which entered into force on January 1, 2016, includes a food import ban on certain categories of products, including fruits, vegetables, and poultry products

"Restrictive measures against Turkey have already been enforced in line with a presidential decree," Timakova said.

"There are no plans to adjust these measures. If necessary, some contracts could be excluded from the restrictive list by a special government directive based on a decision by the prime minister," the spokeswoman stressed.
