Russia Bans Obama,Cameron And 11 Other World Leaders From Shopping At Russian Airport's Duty Free Shop.

Ban sign

It appears Prime Minister David Cameron, US President Barack Obama and a few other political heavyweights will have to look elsewhere for discounted booze or oversized chocolate bars if they ever find themselves in the Russian city of Vladivostok.
They have been banned from shopping at a duty free shop at Vladivostok International Airport in a bizarre move that hits back at EU and US sanctions against Russia amid the deadly conflict in Ukraine.

Writer and editor Michael Idov photographed a backlit sign, which announces the decision to ban 13 world leaders or Ukrainian officials, when he flew out of the airport over the weekend.
The sign says: ‘In line with the decision of Duty Free shop Administration these persons are not welcome here and will not be attended to a customer in this shop'.

In addition to the UK prime minister and US president, the duty free shop has also said ‘nyet’ to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, French President Francois Hollande, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
