Of course they can enforce it.

They fine them if they not do so, and if they not be willing to pay the fine, then they are blocked.

Russia will certainly be a large enough market that they will consider it a financial loss large enough that they might implement this for Russia's version.

Russia already have tried to ban Telegram, but due to help from AWS it turned out that the whole internet needs to be banned, so eventually they gave up. Not saying that Youtube will choose the confrontation the way Telegram did, but it doesn't depend on Russian government alone.

Russia can seize income from Youtube ads.
