This should theoretically make it even harder for Russia to purchase from overseas, even their allies.
 
One of the challenges will be that there are 2 possibly 3 countries that I suspect would not be willing to assist.

True enough but it's entirely possible that individual nations could band together, outside the NATO remit, to form a coalition of the willing. I think the UK, Poland, Finland, Sweden and the Baltic nations would definitely be part of such a coalition. The challenge is whether the US joins the party. Without the latter's logistics, C2, and intelligence capabilities, any such coalition would be severely hobbled.
