Citizens are unable to buy needed goods.

Explanation: Sanctions most immediately restrict trade and financial flows, causing shortages and loss of access to imports and foreign currency — which directly prevents people from buying needed goods. Other outcomes (negotiations, war, price/value shifts) are possible but typically occur later or less predictably.
