MOSCOW (Reuters) - A letter signed by five Russian businessmen, along with Ukrainian and Western ones, betrays unease in Russia's business community over the damage being caused to East-West relations by Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis.

Organised by British tycoon Richard Branson, who was among its 16 signatories, the open letter calls on the governments of the West, Russia and Ukraine "to compromise and find a peaceful solution to the current conflict" and "to work together to ensure we don't regress into the Cold War misery of the past."
