This is kinda true, sanctions are basically business as usual at this point. Although this should only be the starting level of them, because there is still some hope that this wouldn't completely blow up. However the Russians have openly said that for then all of this is deeply ideological and historic. What means that economy isn't a priority, what evidently isn't something unprecedented for the country. Also sanctions are indeed kinda the punishment only by western mindset, while towards some other logic this only adds up towards self-sufficiency. Even if we ignore the whole list of friends and allies that will not sanction them at all.
