Russian airport ' bans' Western leaders from duty free shop

&quot;What took me aback in this case was both the placement - the international lounge of an international airport, in a city that has just hosted a great international music festival - and the sleekness of the design,&quot; Mr Idov said. &quot;I can&#39;t imagine this sign being installed without the approval of the airport authorities.

It truly boggles the mind.&quot; He added: &quot;It seems like what started as a bad grassroots joke is quickly becoming a bad institutional one.&quot; Sadly, the conflict in eastern Ukraine is no laughing matter, with more than 2,500 people killed since mid-April. Ukraine&#39;s president Petro Poroshenko has said his county is &quot;close to a point of no return - full scale-war&quot; with Russia, while his Lithuanian counterpart Dalia Grybauskaite said Russia was &quot;practically in a war against Europe&quot;. European leaders have given Russia one week to withdraw forces from Ukraine or face further sanctions, but Vladimir Putin denies troops have crossed the border or are arming pro-Moscow rebels.
