Russia basically came-out stronger from the ''sanctions''.
Trump warned European countries they should not make themselves so energy-dependant from Russia, and the EU leaders laughed at him.
Reminds me of the sweet syrup sold as ''honey'' by China. Well hurr durr we'll ban imports from China and that fixes it, right?
But if you want to ban fake Chinese ''honey'', you have to ban ''honey'' from every single country that dosen't have strict ban on Chinese ''honey'', or it just ships through there.
And you still might get fraudulent shipping documents circumventing that.
Best option is to ban all imports of honey and produce the damn thing locally. Each country needs to be as self-sufficient as possible so that when something, somewhere goes to shit, it's not a world crisis.

The sanctions might have worked had the US stepped up energy production for export. Instead, we crushed energy production down.
Skyrocketing energy prices and bans against ''excessively warm homes in Winter'' for Europe sure showed Putin who's the boss.
