Never underestimate the desire of progressives in the USA and Europe to make meaningless gestures.

meanwhile, EU sanctions against Russia are set to expire in July, as periphery countries like Greece will oppose any continuation of them.

There is a reason for that. Greece should have never been admitted to the EU in the first place and now that the ECB is squeezing every last Euro’d drachma out of them, the Greeks are looking for a new set of friends. The Russians are a lot more palatable to even the more conservative Greeks, now that Eastern Orthodox clerics are not getting thrown into jail.
