The problem is that a complete blockade of Russia would drive up the oil price. Russia can probably still move around sanctions in some way, which would allow them to sell oil at high prices. Hence you got the price cap. However thanks to Trump destroying the US and somewhat global economy and OPEC increasing production, lowering Russian oil exports becomes much easier.
