At the same time, Putin's spokesman stressed that the Kremlin was extremely concerned that the terrorists got hold of MANPADS.
The Kremlin has refused to comment on the "Ukrainian trace" allegations in the shooting-down of a Su-25 fighter jet in Syria, at the same time expressing concern about MANPADS in the hands of Syria rebels.
Answering a question on whether the Kremlin shares the suggestion of Russian senator, intelligence veteran Igor Morozov, that the MANPADS could be brought to Syria from Ukraine, Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists: "I would not comment on Morozov's statement, he certainly does not have precise information on where and how these MANPADS get to the territory of Syria. It is necessary to make statements very carefully," according to an UNIAN correspondent in Russia.
