Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that US and EU sanctions will harm not just Russia but the global economy.

He said the sanctions were a mistake, going against trade accords and only the UN had the right to impose them.

The sanctions were introduced over Russia's annexation of Ukraine's region of Crimea and its alleged involvement in eastern Ukraine.

Mr Putin was speaking ahead of the G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia, which is to focus mainly on promoting growth.
