"3-6 months from now, some of them may have a lot more impact than they're having by now."

The problem is, 3-6 months of Russia heavy bombing of civilian targets would likely level several major cities in Finland (most smaller than Mariupol) to rubble.

Sure, but if the Ukraine-conflict sanctions have the desired longer-term impact, that impact would serve as a deterrent if they're thinking about invading Finland a few years down the line.

As would the fact that Ukraine's military stood their ground quite successfully.
