No, the sanctions are no longer to persuade Putin to change course. They are to persuade others to remove Putin so Russia can change course.

The idea is sanctions will make Putin change course. But we're eight years in and he's given no sign he'll do anything but double down. And they're easy to spin as a hostile measure from the west, which Russians will blame for the huge suffering they're about to go through.
