Does President Putin Care About San Ons?

President salenski has been calling for sanctions before russia does anything, or at least in the eyes of the west, of nato partners. There is a growing view that he actually has done the numbers. Gas prices are really high and getting higher. His reserves are in a much better position. He is much better economically and financially than he was in 20 14,. where there were limited sanctions imposed on him. But then, to get to your second question, does president putin care about san ons? Everyone is saying he must be mad. Why would he create more pressure for his population? His population is going to suffer so much.
