Will EU sanctions against Russia impact on its military intervention in Ukraine?

It is the biggest crisis confronting Western Europe in 20 years -
Ukraine could be just days away from losing a key part of its
territory. Russia stands on one side of this conflict, the United
States and the European Union on the other. Hardtalk speaks to
Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski. He helped negotiate
a deal to halt the bloodshed in Kiev and now warns President
Vladimir Putin if Russia does not de-escalate, the EU will impose
sanctions. However, last time such a crisis erupted it was the
West that blinked first. Why does he believe things will be
different this time?
