Russia Threatens EU And US Flight Ban

[Triple7]

As tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue, Moscow confirms sanctions on Western food products and threatens flight bans.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has said the country is considering a ban on flights from Europe and the US to Asia.

Speaking at a government meeting he said the "serious measure" of blocking Russian airspace was a response to sanctions that recently stopped Dobrolyot, one of Russia's low-cost airlines, from flying.

It comes as Mr Medvedev confirmed the country has banned transit flights for Ukrainian airlines via its territory.
