sanctions work in the sense that they immiserate a lot of people, which is their entire point. the people doing the sanctions need images of starving children to get off.
oh you mean the stated goals of sanctions? yeah nah. that's just some bullshit.
And by that they can sometimes stir discontent, which is exactly the point. There was no possibility for Ukraine to win from the start, that is delusional. But you can strain the economy enough to destabilize the situation. That is I think is what they thought they may be able to do.
