President Vladimir Putin left the Group of 20 summit in Australia early so he can sleep on the long flight home, as fellow leaders berated Russia over the conflict in Ukraine and warned of possible further sanctions.

Putin, who was told by European leaders to stop arming rebels, said before jetting off from Brisbane he needed 4 to 5 hours of sleep so he could get to work early tomorrow morning.
