That is only if you think that sanctions were supposed to motivate Russia to do something different about Ukrainian situation.
IMO people who approved sanction couldn't care less about Ukraine. When they say that their target is "economical isolation" of Russia - I believe them. They don't like Russia's economy to grow and that's the real reason for the sanctions and Ukraine is just a convenient cover for this.
