The EU censoring websites from Russia, regardless of diplomatic situations, is very unlikely. Would go against all principles of the EU. If a sort of "Iron Curtain" blocking your email access is what worries you, I'd say it's very unlikely to happen. Impossible is nothing, but it's unlikely.

If you like Yandex overall and this is your only concern, I think you should be fine. If this one concern bothers too much though, then look for other options. I suffer from anxiety disorder, and experienced that anxiety is not always solved by rational thinking. Peace of mind is worth something too. However, I would say the odds that Russian services are being blocked by the EU, are low. Very low.
