RUSSIAN PRESIDENT WALKED OUT FROM G20 SUMMIT AMID TENSION TO GO AND SLEEP

Putin walks out of G20 summit 'to sleep'

Russian president says he left to get some sleep but move may be seen as snub after he was pressured over Ukraine.Russian President Vladimir Putin has left the G20 summit in Australia early, live footage showed, after he came under intense pressure from the West over Moscow's alleged support for separatist fights in eastern Ukraine.

But Putin said his decision to leave early had nothing to do with tensions over Ukraine. Instead, he said he had a long flight and wanted to catch up on some sleep ahead of a full day's work back home on Monday.
