Remains of Russian pilot flown from Turkey to Russia on Monday - Turkish military

ANKARA (Reuters) - The remains of the Russian pilot killed last week when his jet was shot down by Turkey left Ankara bound for Moscow on Monday morning, the Turkish military said in a statement. The repatriation followed a military funeral service attended by the Russian ambassador and other military officials, the military said. The downing of the jet has prompted a major rupture in relations between the two countries, with Putin this weekend signing off on a raft of sanctions against Turkey.
