Russia has already legalised piracy of software produced in states embargo it, so any licence change would be moot. If anything it could just incentivise Russian programmers to not release any modified source code.
Not to mention any restriction on geographic usage would violate freedom 0, so any software imposing such a restriction would by definition no longer be FOSS.
