Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that no possible causes of the Saturday's crash of a Russian airplane in Egypt should be ruled out.
According to him, no possible causes should be ruled out for the moment as the investigators were only starting their work.
Peskov assured that each possible cause will be examined over the course of the investigation, TASS news agency quotes him as saying.
He called for no speculations until first results become available, but did not specify when such results should be expected.
Peskov reminded that the main investigation is conducted by the country where the crash occurred, namely Egypt.
He highlighted that Russia assessed highly the effectiveness of Egyptian authorities in investigating the crash.
