ST PETERSBURG Russia (Reuters) - Global business leaders are thin on the ground at Russia's main investment conference in the face of government pressure to stay away because of the Ukraine crisis, but the Kremlin has advised Russian media not to make a big deal of it.
In a confidential email seen by Reuters, the Kremlin advised loyal and state-run organisations to focus instead on the growing participation of Asian investors and the quality of discussions at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
