Not really. The sanctions were always weak Democrat CYA and filled with loopholes. Biden’s favorite Moscow Oligarch bag woman and old Putin associate Elena Baturina has still not been sanctioned to this day.
We must not forget it was POTUS Trump who sanctioned the Nordstream2 and enraged German socialists and Putin. He put significant sanctions on Russia and Putin owned Biden lifted them.
“The sanctions were always weak”
***********
But that’s not how the Biden administration portrayed them. They were being touted as powerful deterrents that would thwart Russian aggression.
“... and Putin owned Biden lifted them....”
I don’t think Putin owns Biden, I think he just leased him from the Chinese.
The Biden regime were the ones that authorized the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, in violation of international law.
And, it is the people of Germany that got screwed over because of it.
