I guess "hurting their economy to accelerate their downfall" is a frequent goal of sanctions (cf. the sanctions on Cuba by the USA), but in the case of the EU there's probably another: "let's cut economic ties so that they cannot use our reliance on them to influence us".
This mythical Russian influence never materialised anywhere. Hell, Russia still sells them eveything they want, just through middlemen, even though they are really in state of war. In the meantime, USA have so much influence over EU that it commits economical seppuku without any reason other than lining the pockets of US oligarchs.
