Will the new US sanctions against Russia make a difference?

Two years ago this Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of his Ukrainian neighbor. On the eve of the anniversary (for lack of a better word), the Biden administration rolled out its most comprehensive sanctions package to date.

A total of 500 Russian individuals and entities will now be barred from conducting any business with United States individuals or firms, and any assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction will be frozen.
