Airbnb joins Western corporate shutdowns in Russia 

Home rental company Airbnb Inc on Thursday became the latest big global firm to halt operations in Russia as Western sanctions build against Moscow for invading Ukraine.

Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky tweeted the suspension, including Russian ally Belarus. It aligns his company with other major Western names, including General Motors Co, Boeing Co and Alphabet Inc's Google.
