Europe's Plan for Putin - Will Russian Leader Bend After New Sanctions?

So far, economic interests have mostly trumped all other considerations - it's hard to ignore that 1.1 billion Euro French contract to supply the Kremlin with two state-of-the-art Mistral warships, after all. So, will new sanctions force Putin to raise the white flag or dig in his heels?
