Putin under ‘enormous pressure’ from Russian population

Curtin University Professor Joseph Siracusa says Russian President Vladimir Putin would be under pressure “from below” to do something about the sinking of Russian warship, the Moskva.

Mr Siracusa said the sinking of the Moskva is a “very serious thing” and Mr Putin would be urged to react, with the professor adding the ship is an “extension of one’s flag and national territory.”

“I think he would be under enormous pressure from Russian population to do something about this because to lose a warship is a big, big deal”, Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia.
