Most of the European countries have no reason to care too much about the Russian food embargo as it is insignificant. Certainly not the French.
This Russian embargo will mostly only hurt the Baltic countries, but they are not going to give in.
Some people close to Kremlin are going to be a lot richer as it is Russia itself in charge of enforcing the sanctions so they will choose who will be able to get away with bringing food through third countries and who will not.

I know but... they might grant them rights to process and re-export products from other EU countries... they may pick another country, Hungary perhaps, Orban has become their bitch unfortunately... Don't underestimate Kremlin humanoids, they are messed up but they are not idiots, I'm sure there's more in it than we see now.
