Russia imposed an embargo on food imports from the US, the EU, Canada, Australia, and Norway in August of 2014 as retaliation for western sanctions. In early August, Russia extended the embargo for another year (www.rt.com/business/269644-russia-food-embargo-extension ) and added Iceland, Albania, Montengro, and Liechtenstein to the list of embargoed countries (news.yahoo.com/russia-slaps-food-embargo-more-european-countries-150602238.html). The question refers to the the E.U. member states embargoed by Russia in 2014. If Russia lifts the embargo on any of them, the question will resolve as a yes regardless of their E.U. status when the embargo is lifted.
