I always scratch my head at "new" sanctions. How has there not been every possible sanction already in place?

I've read multiple times that this is the strategy on purpose. Somehow it is deemed to be more impactful to deliver the sanctions step by step and also keep some ammo to be able to react to the worst crimes. I don't necessarily agree with that but my understanding of these matters is also limited.
