If I'm banned from a store, it's still theft if I take goods from that store without paying.

In this case the store doesn't exist due to sanctions.
So if you take goods from a store that doesn't exist is it stealing?

Because the store can't sell those goods. In this case the store can still sell the goods, and there is no lost revenue. There is not a single analogy to theft.
