> You're assuming that money and power matters less to Putin / oligarchs than lives. I'm not sure that's a valid assumption. My point is, they've already risked far more than just their money and power by going to war. They've also risked their lives (if there was a coup, they'd be dead), and the lives of their countrymen, and the future/standing of their whole country. Such people are not going to be deterred by sanctions they already knew were coming.
